An Israeli mother of two was dragged out of a Holocaust Memorial Day event in Dublin on Sunday after protesting the Irish president’s mention of Gaza during his speech.
Viral video of the event shows a woman grabbing Israeli Lior Tibet, 37, and forcibly removing her from Dublin’s Mansion House, where President Michael Higgins was giving his speech marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Tibet was among several Jewish attendees protesting Higgins’ inclusion in the event given his previous criticism of Israel over the war, and his mention Sunday of the conflict — lamenting the “horrific loss of life” in Gaza — served as the breaking point for them, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported.
