“Extermination” in Gaza – Where are you Christopher Luxon? Winston Peters? David Seymour?

Thousands will march for Palestine across Aotearoa this weekend as UN investigators accuse Israel of deliberately targeting Gaza’s health facilities and killing medical personnel.

In a landmark human rights ruling on Gaza, the investigators have said Israel is

“committing war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination with relentless and deliberate attacks on medical personnel and facilities”

If this were happening anywhere else in the world the government would act decisively.

It’s long past the time to expel the Israeli ambassador…

But where are our political leaders?
