Former US President Joe Biden and his wife Jill were confronted by anti-Israel protesters during a visit to Dublin, Ireland. The couple was leaving Trinity College when dozens of demonstrators, waving Palestinian flags, verbally attacked them and threw milk cartons and other objects. Chants of "Genocide Joe," "Blood on your hands," and "Shame on you" were heard from the crowd. Security personnel used umbrellas to shield the Bidens from the projectiles. Police intervened to control the situation, resulting in the arrest of two protesters. The visit was reportedly for a celebration honoring Biden's son, Hunter, who received an award for his contributions to public discourse.
The incident highlights a recent trend of hostile sentiment towards Israel in Ireland, which has also affected the local Jewish community. Earlier this year, a Dublin hotel reportedly refused accommodation to attendees of an antisemitism conference organized by the World Jewish Congress, citing the suspected involvement of the Israeli military (IDF) as the reason.
