The endorsement included two campaign advertisements for Kiros that called to &#8220;end the genocide&#8221; in reference to Israel&#8217;s military operations in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>Kiros has previously sparked controversy for comments suggesting both the 9\/11 attacks and the October 7 Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians were predictable outcomes of U.S. and Israeli military actions in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/t\/assets\/html\/tweet-5.html#2071964552149754286\" data-btlnk=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HenMazzig\/status\/2071964552149754286\" class=\"bnn-if-tweet\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"260\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>During a June 22 interview with Colorado&#8217;s Next 9News, Kiros was questioned about statements she made while appearing on the show of far-left Twitch streamer <strong>Hasan Piker<\/strong>. In that appearance, she characterized the Hamas terror attack against Israel as &#8220;an inevitable consequence of apartheid, of occupation, decades of occupation,&#8221; as <em>Breitbart News<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n<p>While Kiros denied suggesting Israel &#8220;had it coming,&#8221; she maintained that understanding the &#8220;conditions&#8221; leading to the terror attack was important context.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Rachel&#8217;s political activism comes months after she faced intense scrutiny over an antisemitism controversy. The incident began when the content creator, an outspoken Palestinian supporter, posted a message calling to free various countries including Iran, Congo, Sudan, and Palestine. Users quickly noticed her account had &#8220;liked&#8221; a comment from a Slovak user stating &#8220;Free America from the Jews.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Screenshots showing the liked comment, attributed to the post&#8217;s author, spread rapidly across social media platforms.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/t\/assets\/html\/tweet-5.html#2014080518178886081\" data-btlnk=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/isaacdecastro\/status\/2014080518178886081\" class=\"bnn-if-tweet\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"260\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>When a follower alerted Ms. Rachel to the situation, she claimed the interaction was accidental. The follower wrote asking her to check a comment under her latest post that said &#8220;free American from the Jews&#8221; which appeared to have been liked by the author.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Rachel responded that she had deleted the comment, adding that she hates antisemitism. She later explained in the post&#8217;s caption that she &#8220;was just tapping&#8221; and believed the comment had been deleted.<\/p>\n<p>The backlash prompted Ms. Rachel to release a tearful video apology. In the emotional recording, she explained she had accidentally selected &#8220;like and hide&#8221; instead of simply deleting the comment. She emphasized her opposition to antisemitism, citing Jewish family members and friends.<\/p>\n<p>The children&#8217;s entertainer expressed frustration with the incident, lamenting that people &#8220;can&#8217;t be human anymore online.&#8221; She apologized for any confusion and noted her age as a factor in the technical error, saying she is &#8220;not as good with touching things online&#8221; and has accidentally liked content before.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:right\"><em>With information from <a href=\"https:\/\/breitbart.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Breitbart News<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":9511,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[122],"tags":[7944,8564,8565,8563,8562,8256,2881],"nfg_topic":[137],"class_list":["post-9512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-democratic-socialists","tag-denver-colorado","tag-israel-gaza-conflict","tag-melat-kiros","tag-ms-rachel","tag-september-11-attacks","tag-youtube","nfg_topic-culture-wars"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/47"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9512"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9512\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9515,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9512\/revisions\/9515"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9512"},{"taxonomy":"nfg_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nfg_topic?post=9512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
