Dame Helen Mirren was confronted by a pro-Palestine activist on the streets of London, who verbally assaulted her, calling her an 'evil Zionist b****.' The incident escalated as the unknown man filmed the encounter, accusing Mirren of supporting Israel at the expense of Palestinians. Initially calm, Mirren smiled and engaged with the man, but the situation turned hostile, prompting her husband, director Taylor Hackford, to intervene. Mirren has long been an advocate for Israel, recently signing an open letter with other celebrities supporting Israel's participation in the Eurovision Song Contest. She has portrayed notable Jewish figures, including Golda Meir, and has expressed her belief in Israel's right to exist, citing the Holocaust as a pivotal reason. Despite her support, she has also voiced concerns regarding the actions of the Israeli government. The video of the confrontation was later shared online by an anonymous account.
