Luxon still doesn’t have a view on America bombing a school and killing 165 school girls

This is extraordinary…

New Zealand still has no position on the strike that killed 100 Iranian school children

More than five weeks on from a deadly bombing of a primary school in Iran, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has said New Zealand does not have a position on it.

The Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School, which was located near a Iranian Revolutionary Guard base, was hit by a deadly missile on February 28. More than 100 children were killed.

While US President Donald Trump initially blamed Iran for the attack, investigations into the incident have reportedly pointed to the US as being responsible.

Speaking shortly after the US and Israel launched attacks on Iran at the end of February, Luxon said New Zealand was “not best placed” to pass judgement.

Five weeks on, that position hasn’t changed.

“Ultimately, it’s not me as the arbiter sitting here in New Zealand judging that, you know, that’s up to the Americans to explain,” he said of New Zealand’s position on the school attack on Tuesday.

“What we are calling for is that we need to make sure that international law and humanitarian law is upheld, and when we see strikes on civilian infrastructure and civilians, that is unacceptable.”

Asked again whether New Zealand has a position on the strike that killed more than 100 children and reports that the US was responsible, Luxon confirmed we do not.

“I’ve seen the reports, but again, it’s up to the Americans,” he said.

“As we’ve said before, that is an issue for the Americans to explain. They’ve undertaken their review, and and we look forward to seeing the results.”

Stuff

…after spending most of a train wreck interview a fortnight ago arguing NZ would support carpet bombing Iran, the Prime Minister of this nation still ‘doesn’t have a view’ on bombing an Iranian school killing 165 little kids.

What is difficult about not bombing school children that the Prime Minister doesn’t seem to comprehend?

This is insanity – NZ DOES NOT support bombing school children

NZ DOES NOT support bombing schools.

NZ DOES believe in the rule of law and bombing schools is a war crime.

Why is that so impossible for the Prime Minister to articulate?

Why is he the only one who finds this difficult?

Why is kissing Trump’s pale orange arse more important to Chris Luxon than denouncing bombing school children?

How hard is this?

FFS!
