Demonstrators at Trinity College Dublin accused the former US president of complicity in Israel\u2019s military campaign in Gaza.<\/p>\n
Pro-Palestinian protesters threw cartons of milk toward former US President Joe Biden during his visit to Trinity College Dublin on Tuesday.
\nAccording to The University Times (UT) student newspaper, the protest broke out after Biden arrived at the university to watch his son, Hunter, receive the Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution to Public Discourse from the College Historical Society.
\nDemonstrators chanted \u201cshame on you\u201d and \u201cgenocide Joe,\u201d accusing Biden of complicity in Israel\u2019s military campaign in Gaza, which has killed more than 74,600 Palestinians since October 2023 and displaced much of the enclave\u2019s population.
\nProtesters threw milk cartons as US Secret Service agents escorted the former president and his family from the venue. Security personnel used umbrellas to shield them, while other demonstrators were filmed scuffling with Irish police.<\/p>\n

Biden, who has Irish ancestry, faced widespread criticism during his presidency for continuing to provide military and diplomatic support to Israel.
