To not want to hear any more about the Californian fires

Wait where do school runs fit into this hahah

Are you joking? We've been hearing nothing but Gaza Gaza Gaza for years, this has just happened?? Of course it will be covered, it's the worst fire in California history.

Honestly, people's obsession with comparing everything to Gaza does nothing but stops people having empathy for it. We can be sad for these people and still be sad for Gaza.
Every single world event is filled with comments about Gaza.

And the people that have no sympathy for California because it's "rich", these people have lost sentimental things, their homes, everything. Being rich makes it easier to rebuild but it's still extremely sad. And a lot of these people have had their houses for years, and their wealth was the house....that is now gone!

Have some compassion people!!!

Bloody hell. The huge majority of people who have lost their homes there are not rich at all.

There’s been plenty of other news reported. News programmes don’t just report one story. Have you even watched the news? There’s been lots about the economy, Donald Trump, Liz Truss, grooming gangs etc during the past few days.

News is very much driven by analytics these days. If people didn’t want to hear about the fires and weren’t engaging with the stories then the coverage would dry up PDQ.

Unlike Gaza

What’s the relevance of Gaza? This is a big news story because of the Hollywood/celeb angle & climate change/nature.

It’s not just rich people! Goodness me 😞

Yeah I'm bored of it too. Rich people have their houses burned down

Some of the firefighters & police officers have lost homes, are they rich?

Personally I disagree, this is a massively important story and a huge catastrophe, so of course it's going to be the main news story this week. Very high risk this sort of thing will happen all around the world if climate change continues unabated.

I feel the same about this and gaza. Once again it shows people for their hypocrisy because its been happening pretty much everyday for over a year now on our screens. Celebs who have never said a word about it are now piping up so sympathetic to all of their filthy rich friends.

Do you shoehorn Gaza into everything? I bet you’re a riot at school pick-ups.

October 7th I should say!

Why use Gaza for comparison though? We have been seeing news about Gaza since October 3rd (and rightly so). But it’s not like it hasn’t been covered? There are so many conflicts and tragedies that don’t even make the news, yet other stories dominate. Right now it’s the fires.

Why is Gaza more important than Syria, the Uyghars or anything else? The worst fires in history in a country that is our closest ally is
pretty important news to most right-thinking people. Makes more sense than fretting about Gaza - a place that we share no cultural ties with. If anything our values are antithetical.

Free the hostages.

Yeah I'm bored of it too. Rich people have their houses burned down. OK, really sad. Some of the scenes are apocalyptic. Yes, it is newsworthy. But does it have to be on ALL the fucking time? Surely other stuff is going on they could report on.

Why does everything come back to Gaza- this is a tragedy in its own right. You might have more than most suffering in the Middle East doesn’t mean you’d be fine to see everything burned to ash.

The BBC can't seem to find any other news. It filled the ten o'clock news last night then took up the first half of newsnight.
