Verbal attack in London: Helen Mirren attacked by a pro-Palestinian protester

During an event that took place last night in London, the esteemed British actress and Oscar winner, Helen Mirren, became a target of harassment by a pro-Palestinian protester. According to reports by HeidiBachram and PallaviDawson26, the actress was called an "evil Zionist b*tch" by a passerby, apparently due to her positions expressing support for the existence of the State of Israel.

According to the sources, Mirren was accompanied by her husband, director Taylor Hackford, who came to her defense during the verbal confrontation and called for the attacker to move away from them. HeidiBachram praised the composure of the actress and her husband in the face of the aggression shown toward them on the street.

The event sparked outrage on social media, with users identified with right-wing and conservative positions sharply criticizing the behavior toward Mirren. RobAdl3r defined the incident as "disgusting and vile" and claimed that it was an expression of disguised antisemitism, while adding sharp criticism toward the pro-Palestinian side and calling the attacker a "bully" (according to RobAdl3r).

The account InspGadgetBlogs also echoed the report, referring to Mirren as a British "national treasure." The tone in these posts was uniform in condemning the act, with speakers highlighting the gap between their perception of themselves as "good" and the aggression directed at an 80-year-old woman.
