  "account": "Mark Ruffalo has been backed by over 170 Jewish artists following accusations of antisemitism, with an open letter asserting the claims as an \"outrageous smear campaign.\" The letter, signed by fellow creatives including Hannah Einbinder, Abbi Jacobson, Gina Gershon, Kate Berlant, Joel Coen, and Ilana Glazer, denounced the false accusations against the actor and highlighted the importance of addressing the connections between the assault on the Palestinian people and the erosion of liberties at home. The signatories emphasized the need to speak truth to power in the face of increasing attacks on those who expose the truth about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the broader issues of tech-driven dominance and AI-driven control. Recent polls indicate that a significant portion of American Jews now acknowledge Israel's potential war crimes in Gaza, and the signatories criticized those who dismiss these concerns as antisemitic in an effort to defend war, oligarchy, and AI domination. They called for an end to the use of spurious antisemitism charges and for a united front against the spew of falsehoods that threaten democratic values and truth.",
