Mark Ruffalo apologizes for comments implying Israel committed genocide
Fox News
Mark Ruffalo apologized for comments he made about the conflict in the Middle East that implied Israel committed genocide.
"I have reflected & wanted to apologize for posts during the recent Israel/Hamas fighting that suggested Israel is committing ‘genocide,’" he wrote. "It’s not accurate, it’s inflammatory, disrespectful & is being used to justify antisemitism here & abroad. Now is the time to avoid hyperbole." Although the "Avengers: Endgame" actor did not specify which of his past posts he was apologizing for, he’s likely referencing a pair of tweets shared days apart that likens the actions of the Israeli government to apartheid in South Africa, which saw the government uphold a system of segregationist policies directed at every non-white in the country.More Related News
