Blaming Israel for the Calif. Fires

These antisemites are completely evil and delusional. There's something wrong with people so totally obsessed with hating Jews and Israel that they even rationalize a connection between Israel and California!

From World Israel News, 1/10/25:

Anti-Israel activists blame Israel for Los Angeles wildfires

Code Pink: ‘When US taxes go to burning people alive in Gaza, we can’t be surprised when those fires come home.’

By Vered Weiss, World Israel News

"Anti-Israel groups took to social media to blame Israel for Los Angeles wildfires.

"The fires have destroyed hundreds of buildings and prompted the evacuation of tens of thousands of California residents.

"On Instagram, Code Pink created a tenuous connection between the fires and Israel’s war in Gaza.

"Code Pink wrote, “When US taxes go to burning people alive in Gaza, we can’t be surprised when those fires come home.”

"The Anti-Zionist group Jewish Voice for Peace wrote, “Instead of putting resources toward making our country livable, our government is putting billions toward Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.”

"Fatima Mohammed, head of anti-Israel group Within Our Lifetime posted, “The flames of Gaza will not stop there.”

“Dropping hundreds of thousands of bombs on Gaza, turning it into a blazing inferno, has consequences,” she said. “There are climate consequences that will find us all.”

"Commentator Mehdi Hasan asserted that aid to Israel was interfering with funding LA’s fire department."

And speaking of evil: What does being homeless have to do with trying to start another fire?  You still know the difference between right and wrong, don't you? Where did this firebug manage to get a flamethrower in the first place? Kudos to these residents who caught him!

The only homelessness I care about is the homelessness being caused to innocent Californians whose homes and lives have been destroyed while firefighters risk their lives.

However, Californians are so ultra-liberal that not only would they vote for the same Democrat "leaders" again next time, but they would probably oppose putting this criminal in prison:

Homeless man with ‘flamethrower’ busted on suspicion of arson near LA’s Kenneth Fire after residents detain him

"The unidentified suspect was seen riding around Woodland Hills on a bicycle on Thursday afternoon setting fire to several old Christmas trees and garbage cans at the same time as the Kenneth Fire started, locals said.

"Renata Grinshpun told KTLA she was in her backyard when she heard a car screech to a stop and a man yelling, “Neighbors, he’s trying to start a fire! Call 911!’”

"She saw the suspect holding a large “propane tank or a flamethrower” — which others described as a blowtorch — as he tried to torch debris in the street.

"Neighbors jumped into action and cornered the man as he tried to ride off, as caught in part in a video — with one man demanding: “Put it down!”

“We really banded together as a group,” Grinshpun told KTLA. “A few gentlemen surrounded him and got him on his knees. They got some zip ties, a rope and we were able to do a citizens’ arrest.”
