Hillary Clinton slams progressives ignoring Hamas horrors: 'No excuses'

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke out against groups and people ignoring allegations of sex crimes against women by Hamas in the conflict against Israel.

Clinton forcefully condemned the actions against Israeli women, including rape, as a "crime against humanity" with "no justifications and no excuses" at a United Nations meeting on Monday, which she addressed via video.

“As you well know, many women and girls were attacked brutally by Hamas on Oct. 7,” Clinton said to the U.N. meeting. “And they have testified to the gender-based violence that they both experienced and witnessed. As a global community, we must respond to weaponized sexual violence wherever it happens with absolute condemnation. There can be no justifications and no excuses. Rape as a weapon of war is a crime against humanity.”

"Such atrocities have no place in any society or any conflict. Organizations, governments, and individuals who are committed to a better future for women and girls have a responsibility to condemn all violence against women. It is outrageous just that some who claim to stand for justice are closing their eyes and their hearts to the victims of Hamas," she added.
