Ms Rachel filming a video with a child injured by bombings in Gaza. Extremely based children entertainer.
Reddit - The heart of the internet
The anger I feel and the sadness is incredible. It hardens my heart against fascists, we will not need a lot of re-education camps when our time comes, we have plenty of mines.
Few things make me cry but a child just being happy despite everything just pulls at me. The world should be hoppy bunnies and sleepy time for kids.
Attended a talk from a pediatrician who went to Gaza before this latest siege. In amongst the photos of death and destruction where many photos of kids just having fun... videos of them using gates as swings and just playing around. He said it's his favorite part... Seeing kids be kids. And it's what kills me more than 100 videos of gore. How can we live in a world where these little guys have to fucking deal with this. How.
The Dr told a story about how he'd give kids stickers. Usually just a couple so he had enough to go around. But one girl she asked for a few more for her friend... She proceeded to place the extra stickers on a grave marker. Just absolutely fucked world we live in. Kids are still kids despite everything and I hate that they are made to go through it.
People like Mrs Rachel are gems and I could never do her job without bursting into tears.
Thank you so much for this.
To paraphrase Matt Lieb on Bad Hasbara, if they insist on linking Miss Rachel with Hamas, every parent with a child under 5 will put on a green headband.
She is the modern Fred Rodgers.
it's a sick world where she is rapidly becoming the face of some "radical" element of society by checks notes demanding children not be murdered
She's around my partner's age (who worked with children for over a decade) and i think represents the decent strain of fellow elder millennials who had either no kids of their own or just 1 or 2, but dedicate themselves to their nurturing (in typically low paying, low appreciation jobs). I've personally known (and still know) a bunch of women like her, out there tirelessly working at schools, head start, etc. Friends and family. Most aren't even leftists, just baseline left libs that i guess are radical for caring about kids. Instead of just popping out a quiverfull and leaving them to raise each other
I literally learned of her existence only a year ago but immediately recognized the type from my personal life after watching some of her interviews. She reminds me so much of one of my best friends, who is now terrified of losing her job from various cuts.
So i suppose the point is there are many, many Ms. Rachels still out there in this godforsaken nightmare nation. Not to discount her bravery, but to point out how disgusting it is that saying "children deserve to live" in public is brave
and I worry she will be made an example of
Proclaiming the humanity of all peoples not just a few is sadly a radical position.
Anyone trashing Ms Rachel gets the wall and a mass grave
i sobbed when i was confronted with this tiny child and what the zionist genocidaires took from her. it's hard not to be emotional in in the face of that. it'll make you want to fedpost.
She is a literal saint, anyone going against her is evil. Rare to see such a definitively good person.
It's no wonder the zionazi goons go so hard against her. Her entire being upends the hasbara that pissrael are the good guys. It makes them look like the evil demons that they are when they're attacking a woman who's the saint of children around the world.
