Hannah Einbinder "grateful" for Mark Ruffalo's comments about Paramount's ties to Israel
Hannah Einbinder has come to Mark Ruffalo's defense and backed up his criticisms of Paramount's financial ties to the Israeli military.
Hannah Einbinder, known for her outspoken opinions on various matters, expressed her gratitude towards fellow Palestinian advocate Mark Ruffalo for his comments regarding Paramount's ties to Israel. The actress, who is Jewish, posted on Instagram Stories that by asserting criticism of Israel and its actions towards Palestinians as antisemitic, Ruffalo was fundamentally misusing the term and stripping it of its true meaning.
Einbinder emphasized that Ruffalo's stance exposed a dangerous consolidation of power that could potentially be misused against them. She questioned the accusation that only criticizing someone because they are Jewish is antisemitic, highlighting other high-profile individuals such as Oracle executive vice chair Safra Catz and Oracle founder Larry Ellison, who have supported Israel and have significant influence in Hollywood.
Einbinder urged other artists to follow Ruffalo's example and use their visibility to speak out against oppression wherever it may occur.
