US slams ‘irresponsible’ calls by Smotrich and Ben Gvir for emigration of Gazans

The US State Department on Tuesday called out far-right Israeli ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir for advocating the resettlement of Palestinians outside of Gaza.

“This rhetoric is inflammatory and irresponsible,” State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a relatively rare, unprompted statement calling out a pair of Israeli ministers by name.

The statement underscored growing frustration in Washington with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, which the Biden administration has continued to support diplomatically and militarily in the war against Hamas but has increasingly sparred with regarding planning for Gaza once the fighting ends.

Fuck I'm so sick of these click-bait terms...
- They are not going away. Here's why..click
Less “slamming” and more “defunding,” please.
Miller’s statement came days after US President Joe Biden reportedly took Netanyahu to task on a phone call for failing to stand up to the hardliners in his coalition, which he said he’s done with the far-left flank of the Democratic party that is urging a ceasefire in Gaza.
This administration is fucking sick. Comparing those actively and openly calling for ethnic cleansing and genocide to those calling for an end to violence.
- Not to mention the "far-left flank of the Democratic party" holds the position supported by the majority of Americans and the vast majority of Democrats.
and continues to give them as many missles and weapons as they ask for
- Yeah isn't the US state department headed by that Blinkens guy?
So, hey, here's the thing, State Department: they don't give a fuck what you think until you stop supplying weapons and condoning the murder of civilians.
So there's that.
- Agree. Actions speak louder than words.
  I was taught this as a child. I wish more people held this truism (or something similar) in mind more often. It's key to so much of politics.
I see "slams" in a headline, I assume tabloid shitrag
And I just slammed that downvote button because that word triggers me
