Hamas and Female Suicide Bombers

According to a recent article in Ha'aretz:

Reem Raiyshi, the woman who blew herself up last week at the Erez crossing, was the married mother of two. Yedioth Ahronoth reported yesterday that Raiyshi was compelled to perpetrate the terror strike to atone for having betrayed her husband. Relying on IDF sources, this report claimed that Raiyshi's husband, a Hamas operative, knew about his wife's plan in advance, and even encouraged her to carry it out.

This means that women are being compelled, against their will, to become suicide bombers. This should provoke an outcry from feminist and human rights organizations. Will it?
