Mark Ruffalo Backtracks, Doesn't Support Palestine Anymore
I have reflected & wanted to apologize for posts during the recent Israel/Hamas fighting that suggested Israel is committing “genocide”. It’s not accurate, it’s inflammatory, disrespectful & is being used to justify antisemitism here & abroad. Now is the time to avoid hyperbole.— Mark Ruffalo (@MarkRuffalo) May 25, 2021
Mark Ruffalo doesn't support Palestine anymore and describes the past few weeks as fighting between Israel and Hamas. He doesn't mention or even write "Palestine" in his apology. He follows up by saying that accusations of ethnic cleansing is hyperbole.
People are criticizing him:
no, you were right the first time — see this heat so of the attacks on Gaza, and it’s such a shame that you’ve chosen to conflate criticism of the state of Israel’s atrocities with anti-Semitism. It isn’t and should never be used to justify racism. You are part of the problem pic.twitter.com/1qTJvrl8ag— Jennine #SaveSheikhJarrah (@jennineak) May 25, 2021
