In April, the advocacy groupStopAntisemitismaskedAttorney General Pam Bondito investigate if Accurso was "being funded by a foreign party to push anti-Israel propaganda to skew public opinion." The group accused the content creator of being an "amplifier of Hamas propaganda," saying images that she shared of children in Gaza were manipulated. In response, the creatorappeared in an interview with journalist Mehdi Hasan, on his independent publication Zeteo, saying that criticism for her continued advocacy for Palestinian children is unfair and that it "should be controversial to not say anything." Accurso said heradvocacydoes not come from a place of antisemitism, but rather a sense of empathy for children around the world. "I've been blessed to get this platform. And kids feel that I care about them all deeply, and that's why I have the platform. Because they feel it through the screen, because it's genuine," Accurso said. Despite backlash she's faced from some, Accurso has continued to advocate for Palestinians in Gaza. She has teamed up with Save the Children, a humanitarian nonprofit, and has also used her platform to highlight the stories ofvarious Palestinian children.In one post, she shared the story of a 3-year-old Palestinian child who lost both legs in an airstrike. "When I saw pictures of Rahaf in Gaza on the hospital floor, I saw the devastating consequences of endless bombing and continuous violations of children's human rights," Accurso said.
