- Sabeena Farooq draws comparisons to Gaza, urging unbiased empathy.
- Her comments highlight the ongoing devastation in Palestine.
- The wildfires have also prompted reactions from other celebrities.
As wildfires rage across Los Angeles, residents mourn the loss of life and property while others rally support through social media. Among them is actor Sabeena Farooq, who took to Instagram to express solidarity. “For the situation in LA, my heart goes out for all the humans and animals affected,” she wrote.
Sabeena used the moment to draw a poignant comparison. “But somebody just said, imagine the same situation but with thousands of dead bodies around, and no food and help. That’s Gaza for you!” she asserted. “Let’s feel for human lives unbiased.” Her comments highlight the ongoing devastation in Palestine and the role of international powers in exacerbating the crisis.
The wildfires have also prompted reactions from other celebrities. Jennifer Garner, speaking to MSNBC, shared the personal toll of the disaster, saying she lost a friend to the fire. Meanwhile, Jamie Lee Curtis attracted criticism for her controversial comparison of the Pacific Palisades’ destruction to the Gaza conflict. “The entire Pacific Palisades looks like, you know, unfortunately Gaza or one of these war-torn countries where awful things have happened,” Curtis stated.
Social media users quickly condemned the analogy, calling it “careless and unnecessary.” As California grieves, the disaster also brings global crises into sharper focus.
