This Spanish Woman MP Said Feminism Is Not An Excuse For The US And Israel To Bomb Iran
“This is how the right defends the rights of Iranian women: by celebrating the murder of 160 girls.”
Leftist Spanish politician, Manuela Bergerot, has blasted right-wing politicians for using "feminism” as an excuse for supporting the US and Israel’s attack on Iran after the airstrikes that killed more than 148 girls at a school in Iran.
On Saturday Feb. 28, as part of its unprovoked, coordinated attack on Iran with the US, Israel bombed the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in the town of Minab in Hormozgan province and killed more than 165 girls and staff.
An official said the school had been "targeted by three missile attacks", according to the BBC.
Two Red Crescent medics who arrived at the scene told Middle East Eye that the school was hit by a double-tap strike.
After the first strike hit the school, a teacher and the school principal moved students into the prayer hall for shelter and called parents to come collect their children, but before parents could arrive, a second missile struck the prayer hall.
"We saw bodies without heads, without hands, without legs," one medic said.
On Thursday, March 5, while addressing the government’s plan to stop sexist violence in Spain, Bergerot linked the issue to the US and Israel’s attack on Iran, saying right-wing politicians’ support of the attacks are not “feminism”.
“The first military objective of Netanyahu and Trump was to bomb a girls’ school, murdering 160 girls,” she said, adding, “This is how the right defends the rights of Iranian women: by celebrating the murder of 160 girls.”
Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian has called the attack a "barbaric act", while the country’s ambassador to the UN called the attack a war crime.
