Israeli PM Netanyahu says a call from a prominent Cabinet member for a Palestinian village to be erased was “inappropriate.” “It is important for all of us to work to tone down the rhetoric, lower the temperature.”

was “inappropriate,” days after it prompted an international outcry.

Instead he implied that Smotrich misspoke and thanked him for later walking back on the comments and “making clear that his choice of words” was “inappropriate.” Hawara is a village of 7,000 Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Surrounded by settlements, it is often abetween Palestinians and Israelis. Unlike cities such as Ramallah that are under the control of the Palestinian Authority, Hawara is mostly under Israeli security control.

However, Netanyahu’s coalition government, the most right wing in the nation’s history, did pledge settlement construction in the West Bank as its central objective upon taking power in December.

Yes they shouldn't talk about it just keep continuing to do it with supported by the US government and too many US Jewish orgs. Keep on the brutality, the stealing of land, the incitements that they can blame on the Palestinians. Their fuck you to the world. FYI I am Jewish.

Israel is becoming an autocracy. Israelis need look no further than Bibi appeasing his bigoted, anti-Muslim ultra-right led coalition. How many lives will be lost for Bibi’s blood payments to avoid criminal indictments by remaining in office?

All territory that Palestinians occupy that is part of Israel will one day be inhabited by Israel. It is an eternal certainty which will be realised in due time.

The jews are warmongers, just like the Americans.

The Israelis are the new nazis trying to wipe out Palestinians

Stop educating us.. finish educating Putin first. Thanks. netanyahu

The Israeli Government is a terrorist organization.

American sponsored war criminal calls for toned down rhetoric so a genocide can continue without further scrutiny.

Incitements to commit genocide against civilians by an Israeli government minister is OK 👍 by the Biden administration . The same Israeli minister is invited to the US to raise funds for new settlements in occupied Palestinian Territories.

Sorry not buying it, Bibi speaks with forked tongue.

None of his extremist ministers have been punished. Forcing him to but out a non-apology is not consequences. This headline is unethical and misleading.

Right, he believes you shouldn’t say it, just do it!

“Inappropriate” seems a bit of an understatement 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

He then ordered the firebombing of a nursery school or some outrageous shit like that

'Don't say the quiet part out loud'.

On the basis of what others uttered such words, and they were greater than them against the Palestinians, when Rabin said, “I hope I wake up from my sleep and see that the sea has swallowed the entire Gaza Strip.” This is an explicit indication that the Jews are murderers.

He's just mad that Cabinet member said that quiet part out loud.

why isn't this guy in prison yet what's the damn holdup
