Well, you have to understand that the ocean around Beach City was integral to the local economy, which needs to run so people can survive. And since the ENTIRE OCEAN disappeared in a single night, it was only natural for the citizens to blame their supernaturally-powered neighbors.

Not only that, but Lapis may have hinted about a possible civil war between the Crystal Gems. Pearl mentioned a war in Mirror Gem, and Lapis stated several times that she is downright an enemy to Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl. The fact that Gems are now confirmed to be able to survive on other planets and even space supports this, as Gems could ally themselves to specific planets. This also proves that some, if not all Gems are capable of interstellar travel, though logically, Lapis shouldn't have been able to fly through the vacuum of space with wings of water, since there is not enough particles in the void to push with the wings in order to propel forwards.
