Over the weekend, during remarks at a Holocaust Memorial Day event in Ireland, Irish President Michael D. Higgins hijacked the event to attack Israel and spew leftist talking points about Gaza.
As everyone knew he would, reprehensible troll-doll made Irish president, Michael Higgins, hijacked a Holocaust memorial event and made it about Gaza, even adding in the debunked Gaza famine blood libel. A blood libel at a Holocaust memorial…
He was begged by the tiny Irish… pic.twitter.com/U2Lc4AnABP

Higgins attended the event despite requests that he not make an appearance.
Dana Erlich, Ambassador of Israel to Ireland, called for Higgins not to attend, saying Higgins had helped nurture an “anti-Israeli atmosphere” in Ireland.
When a pregnant Jewish woman and a granddaughter of Holocaust survivors stood during his remarks and silently turned their backs on him, they were forcibly removed from the event, one of them violently dragged outside.
You can’t make this up: The antisemitic president of Ireland gave an antisemitic speech condemning Israel during the International Holocaust Day, and when Jews in the audience protested, they were kicked out

Hello, all.
A fact check: it is indeed true that a pregnant woman (1) was restrained, then asked to leave, and later pushed outside aggressively by a security guard.
The woman in the video that everyone is horrified by, Lior Tibet (2), is not pregnant.
So it is accurate to… pic.twitter.com/52pO2HcjiQ

This is far from the first time Higgins has come under fire for siding with monsters.
In July, he wrote a congratulatory letter he wrote to the new president of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian.
The July 11, 2024 letter, which has been criticized by Irish politicians for its tone when engaging with the murderous regime, was shared widely on social media, and Higgins does not seem to enjoy the blowback.
Rather than addressing Iran’s brutality against their own citizens and their flagrant funding of international terrorism, the congenial letter stressed the need for stability, cooperation, and the peaceful resolution of disputes.
The letter also pledged to open an Irish embassy in Iran, expresses “condolences” for the death of Raisi, the butcher, and congratulates Pezeshkian on his “election.”
Ireland’s anti-Semitic posture has been increasingly exposed since the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks.
In December, The Gateway Pundit reported that Israel’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gideon Sa’ar, announced that Israel’s embassy in Ireland will close due to the “extreme anti-Israel policy of the Irish government.”
In May, Israel recalled its ambassador after Ireland became one of three EU countries that said they would unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state.
