Palestine protest in Ireland against Joe Biden: Milk cartons were thrown at him

Former US President Joe Biden was protested by pro-Palestinian demonstrators during his visit to Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland's capital, on Tuesday, November 10.

Protesters carrying Palestinian flags reacted to Biden's military and diplomatic support for Israel during his presidency.

In the images published on social media, demonstrators were seen chanting "They have blood on their hands" slogans and throwing milk cartons in the direction of Biden and his family.

Biden and his family faced the reaction of protesters as they headed to their vehicles accompanied by security guards after the ceremony at the university.

In the footage, it was seen that some demonstrators tried to approach the Biden family, while security guards used umbrellas to protect the former president and his family.

While one of the milk cartons thrown by the demonstrators was scattered around, police teams tried to prevent the crowd from approaching the vehicles.

It was stated that the protesters also shouted slogans such as "Genocidal Joe" and "Shame on You".

During the protest, a fight broke out between the demonstrators and the Irish police.

In the images shared on social media, it was seen that one demonstrator was neutralized by the police on the vehicle and other demonstrators were blocked by the security forces.

Ireland's public broadcaster RTÉ reported that at least two people were detained following the incidents.

The university's student newspaper, University Times, reported that two protesters were exposed to pepper gas before being detained.

Biden visited Trinity College in Dublin with his wife Jill Biden to attend their son Hunter Biden's award ceremony.

Hunter Biden was awarded the "Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution to Public Discourse" by the College Historical Society, which operates within the university.

While the former US President's unexpected visit attracted attention at the university, pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered around the campus during the ceremony.

The attacks in Gaza have become one of the most controversial issues of US foreign policy during Biden's presidency.

The Biden administration has been criticized by the international community and by Palestinian support groups in the United States for its continued military aid and diplomatic support to Israel.

The failure to achieve a permanent ceasefire despite the increasing civilian casualties in Gaza was also one of the main criticisms leveled at the Biden administration.

Demonstrators in Dublin continued their protests, drawing attention to Biden's responsibility in Gaza policy, even though his term ended.
