  "summary": "Hannah Einbinder has defended Mark Ruffalo against accusations of antisemitism. Ruffalo was criticised by Paramount for highlighting the Ellison family's connection to the Israeli state and its military. Einbinder, an Emmy-winning actress from the show Hacks, expressed her gratitude towards Ruffalo for drawing a connection between the Ellisons providing military technology to Israel and their proposed media takeover.\n\nAccording to Einbinder, accusing Ruffalo of antisemitism because he pointed out the Ellisons' Jewish background is \"ludicrous\". She also questioned whether it would be antisemitic to criticise Safra Catz, an Oracle executive vice chair, for boasting about providing \"profoundly scary technology\" to the Israeli Defence Forces. Einbinder argued that Ruffalo's comments were about criticising \"right wing technofeudalist oligarchs\" who are involved in a large media acquisition.\n\nEinbinder also praised Ruffalo for fighting for the working class in Hollywood, specifically in his opposition to the Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger deal. She described Ruffalo as an example for artists, saying \"all of us artists could stand to be more like Mark\".",
