@dailyai.uk: Children’s television creator Ms. Rachel says she will match Macklemore’s $1 million donation to organizations supporting Palestinians. Rachel Accurso announced Thursday that she plans to give $1 million to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, where she serves as an ambassador. “I will match Macklemore’s donation,” she wrote on Instagram, while also calling on other wealthy celebrities to contribute. Accurso said she believes people with large platforms have a “moral obligation” to protect children and human rights. She also described the war in Gaza as a Gen*cide — a characterization she has repeatedly used in her advocacy. Her announcement came one day after Macklemore said he would donate the entire $1 million in net earnings he received from Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour to six organizations supporting Palestinians. Macklemore was recently removed from upcoming U.S. tour dates after making pro-Palestinian remarks during a performance. Tour promoter Messina Touring Group said venue owners had refused to host shows featuring him, while Sheeran said the decision was not his. New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft later pledged $2 million toward humanitarian aid, saying Sheeran had already committed another $2 million and asked him to match it. Now Ms. Rachel has added another $1 million pledge as the controversy increasingly shifts toward humanitarian fundraising. What do you think about celebrities using their platforms for humanitarian causes? #MsRachel #Macklemore #Palestine #CelebrityNews #humanitarianaid
