“#Mark Ruffalo apologizes for saying Israel committed genocide<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Mark Ruffalo apologized this week for suggesting that Israel committed \u201cgenocide\u201d during its 11-day conflict with Palestinian militants in Gaza.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have reflected & wanted to apologize for posts during the recent Israel\/Hamas fighting that suggested Israel is committing \u2018genocide\u2019,\u201d the outspoken actor tweeted<\/a> Monday. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not accurate, it\u2019s inflammatory, disrespectful & is being used to justify antisemitism here & abroad. Now is the time to avoid hyperbole.\u201d<\/p>\n

The woke actor did not specify which public statement he was apologizing for, but on May 11, he compared Israel<\/a> to apartheid-era South Africa. <\/p>\n

\u201c1500 Palestinians face expulsion in #Jerusalem. 200 protesters have been injured. 9 children have been killed,\u201d he tweeted at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSanctions on South Africa helped free its black people \u2013 it\u2019s time for sanctions on Israel to free Palestinians. Join the call. #SheikhJarrah.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
