Avengers star Mark Ruffalo has hit back at Paramount's recent claims suggesting his criticism of the studio's $111 billion buyout by Warner Bros. was rooted in antisemitic tropes, branding them "preposterous" and fundamentally dishonest. The actor's scathing remarks come after Paramount accused Ruffalo of using antisemitic language in his Instagram post last week, which criticized Oracle's backing of the Israeli military and its deployment of "profoundly scary technology." Ruffalo, however, insists that his criticism is purely political and aimed at the actions of the Israeli prime minister, military technology contractors, and corporate executives, not Jewish people. He emphasizes that his longstanding relationships with Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones have shaped his views on activism and humanism. Ruffalo's latest response on Twitter reiterates that the $111 billion merger has significant real-world consequences for thousands of workers in the film industry and raises concerns about editorial freedom. He further challenges Paramount to focus on the legal merits of the deal rather than resorting to "dishonest" attempts to discredit his activism.
