Ms. Rachel pledges $1 million for Gaza children after Macklemore donation

Children's entertainer Ms. Rachel said on Thursday that she would donate $1 million to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund (PCRF) to match singer Macklemore's donation of the same amount, which represented his total net earnings from the Ed Sheeran Loop Tour.She also urged "every wealthy white celebrity" to do the same. Macklemore's donation was split among several organizations, including the PCRF, HEAL Palestine, Gaza Soup Kitchen, Medical Aid for Palestinians, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, and Anera. Macklemore, who has long supported Palestinian causes, was cut from British pop star Sheeran's musical lineup over remarks on stage criticizing Israel's military assault in Gaza, which was launched after Hamas-led terrorists infiltrated Israel and carried out a massacre in October 2023.Sheeran said he couldn't keep Macklemore on the tour after stadium owners refused to let him appear.
