| [IsraelTimes] A resurfaced video shows British actress Dame Helen Mirren being accosted in London by a man calling her an “evil Zionist bitch.” The man, who recorded the interaction and reportedly first posted it online back in November, approached the multi-award-winning Mirren and her husband, US film director Taylor Hackford, as they were crossing the street. “And there’s Helen Mirren,” the man says as he walks up to them, “the avowed Zionist.” “You said Israel should last forever because of the Holocaust,” the man says, claiming that the 80-year-old actress was “very happy that Palestinians’ houses were gone.” Throughout the interaction, Hackford repeatedly tells the man to “fuck off,” but is ignored. As he begins to back away from the couple, the man behind the camera tells Mirren that she is “an evil Zionist bitch,” informs Hackford that the same goes for him, and departs with a “fuck you and all.”

In the interview, Mirren, who is not Jewish, said that she believed “in the existence of Israel” and its right to exist “because of the Holocaust,” and spoke out against cultural boycotts of the Jewish state, saying it “didn’t seem right” to abandon Israeli artists. She also recounted her experience during her first visit to Israel in 1967, after the Six Day War. “I witnessed things that were wrong,” she said of her visit. “I saw Arabs being thrown out of their houses in Jerusalem. But it was just the extraordinary magical energy of a country just beginning to put its roots in the ground. It was an amazing time to be here.” |
