Women's groups face outrage for silence on Hamas crimes: 'It's time for people to say this is wrong'

Several top women's organizations have been largely silent on Hamas' crimes against women, and many have yet to speak up after Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., was accused of downplaying Hamas terrorists’ sexual violence against Israeli women. On "The Faulkner Focus" Tuesday, Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., called out Jayapal and the women's groups, including Planned Parenthood and Women's March, for refusing to speak out against war crimes.

SEN. MARSHA BLACKBURN:  It is disgusting and the fact that you have Congresswoman Jayapal who will try to draw a moral equivalence when asked about these sexual atrocities that have been committed against Israeli women. She should be listening to members of her party like Senator Gillibrand, who understands that this is a crime. These are war crimes. What is happening to these women is a crime. What Hamas is doing is barbaric. It is indecent. And what we know, if you want to make certain that the Palestinian people, the women are protected, you got to get rid of Hamas. Same goes if you want to protect Israeli women and children. Get rid of Hamas. These terrorist organizations are barbaric, act like animals, and there is no human decency that they are exercising.
