  1. From the article:

    >Rachel Griffin Accurso, beloved by millions as the online kids content creator Ms. Rachel, has shared on Sunday that she recently connected with Wissam Hamada, the mother of Hind Rajab.

    >Hind was a six-year-old Palestinian girl who was killed by Israel during its war on Gaza and who has come to symbolise the suffering of children living under Israeli bombardment and attacks.

    >In a moving update, Ms. Rachel revealed that she and Hind’s mother exchanged messages reflecting on their children. She wrote:

    >”Hind Rajab’s mom and I are messaging about our children. She is telling me about how Hind loved to pretend to be a doctor and treat everyone. How she was an angel baby,” she wrote.

    >”I’m in tears because I’m sitting with my daughter as we message. It’s excruciating to think about what happened to Hind.”

    >”As I message her back I remember the anguish I felt hearing Hind’s voice on the phone call recording… She was hearing her precious daughter’s voice. I look at my daughter. God help us,” she finished.

    >Hind was killed in January 2024 when her family’s car was deliberately targeted by Israeli forces as they attempted to flee Gaza City.

    >Her desperate call for help was heard by emergency dispatchers, but the ambulance sent to rescue her was also shelled and destroyed by Israeli forces. Twelve days later, Hind’s body was found alongside her cousin and the medics who tried to save her.

    >This comes as the Hind Rajab Foundation announced[ ](https://www.newarab.com/news/hind-rajabs-killer-reported-icc-her-7th-birthday)on Saturday, which would have been her seventh birthday, that a formal war crimes complaint had been filed with the International Criminal Court, naming the Israeli brigade commander allegedly responsible for the attack.

  2. Her saying what she’s saying and posting and keeping her comments turned on is so powerful. She does not care one bit for any of the hate she’s getting. She knows what’s right and she knows the following she has. She is going to be an influential figure for a very long time. I love her more than my 18 month old daughter does.

  4. That’s great, maybe she can connect with Yarden Bibas too.

  5. If Fred Rogers were here, he would be so proud of Ms. Rachel.

  6. Ms Rachel is one of the good ones. It’s giving Mr Rogers.

  8. She feels like the closest thing we have to a new Mr Rogers. I hope she stays safe and protected while fighting this fight

  9. Wonder if she reached out to Yarden Bibas. Y’know the father who spent a year in Hamas terror tunnels and whose two babies were strangled to death by Gazan monsters. Given that she’s a huge antisemite, I’d assume not.
