TOPSHOT - In this aerial view, thousands of burned properties are seen following the Eaton fire in the Altadena area of Los Angeles county, California on January 21, 2025. Exhausted Los Angeles firefighters on January 20 braced for the return of yet more dangerously strong gusts, as California's governor slammed "hurricane-force winds of misinformation" surrounding blazes that have killed 27 people. The two largest fires, which have obliterated almost 40,000 acres (16,000 hectares) and razed entire neighborhoods of the second biggest US city, were both now more than half contained, officials announced.

  • Far-left groups like Code Pink and Jewish Voice for Peace have controversially blamed the Los Angeles wildfires on U.S. military aid to Israel, linking the crisis to funding for the Jewish state.
  • Political and religious leaders criticized the activists for using the fires to promote antisemitism through baseless scapegoating, calling it “slanderous scapegoating.”
