DUBAI: Over the weekend, Mark Ruffalo, the American actor best known for his portrayal of the Hulk, made headlines worldwide with a post that pushed back against what he alleged was a smear campaign designed to paint him as an antisemite. “The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people,” Ruffalo said in a post on X which has since garnered over 800,000 likes.

Le comédien américain a publiquement critiqué les activités de la famille Ellison en Israël, puis a été taxé d’antisémitisme par les studios Paramount.

Ruffalo has been a fierce opponent of the studio’s planned $110 billion merger with Warner Bros.
