Code Pink protesters confront Defense Secretary Austin about Israel: 'Stop supporting mass murder'
Fox News
Members of Code Pink confronted Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Wednesday about Israel's conduct amid its war with Hamas.
"We feel that he knows better than to say ‘this is not a genocide’ and he knows that Israel is violating international law and U.S. law, and so he should stand up and say that and not be collaborating with the Israeli military as so many thousands of civilians have been killed and more are being killed every single day," Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin told Fox News Digital.
