Irish protesters pelt Biden with objects at Dublin university event
Three men were arrested after protesters threw objects at former President Joe Biden during a demonstration outside Trinity College Dublin, Irish police said Wednesday. The incident occurred as Biden attended a ceremony honoring his son, Hunter. Videos showed protesters waving Palestinian flags and chanting "blood on your hands" while scuffling with police, with white liquid believed to be milk thrown toward the group. The Bidens left without incident, and one man in his 50s has been charged, police said. Ireland has long shown solidarity with the Palestinian cause, with many comparing Gaza to its own colonial history. Biden, who has Irish heritage and is undergoing cancer treatment, was in Dublin for Hunter's award from the college's Hist debating society.
