Pro-Palestine protest at Trinity College Dublin amid visit of Joe and Hunter Biden, November 10, 2026 (Kinsey Gentry/University Times)
EA on Al Jazeera’s Inside Story: The Legacy of Joe Biden
I joined Saudi Arabia’s Al Arabiya English to analyze the visit of Joe and Hunter Biden to Dublin last week, focusing on protests over the Biden Administration’s role in Israel’s mass killing in Gaza and on Hunter Biden’s defense of his father.
I begin with the younger Biden’s remarks at Trinity College Dublin, noting his criticism of Israeli “mass murder” but also his refusal — including his attempt to divert to the Trump camp — to engage with any US Government responsibility between October 2023 and January 2025.
Then I explain why Ireland, in contrast, is so engaged with the issues, not only of the Israeli assault and blocking of humanitarian aid but also of Palestine’s statehood amid an expanding Israeli occupation in both Gaza and the West Bank.
