The private message promoted Ms. Rachel, 43, to issue a public apology in a video that she posted Wednesday on Instagram for her 4.8 million followers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The YouTuber, whose real name is Rachel Griffin Accurso, explained that she thought she deleted the hateful comment but accidentally hit \u201clike and hide\u201d instead. The avid critic of Israel, who has shared online posts accusing the Jewish state of \u201cgenocide\u201d and has 18.6 million subscribers on her YouTube channel, got emotional in an Instagram video while explaining what happened.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cI thought I deleted a comment, and I accidentally hit \u2018like\u2019 and hide,&#8217;\u201d she said in an Instagram\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DTybZnkAQVt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video.<\/a>\u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t know how or why. I\u2019ve accidentally liked comments before. It happens. I\u2019m a human who makes mistakes. I would never agree with an antisemitic thing like the comment.
