With the current Israel-Palestine conflict raging on, there is a lot of divide between people everywhere. Thus, it’s a very volatile situation for the denizens of the entertainment industry, who need to maintain a controversy-free face for the public. Still, Mark Ruffalo has decided to not follow that norm yet again.
In his most recent tweet about a news report on protestors and anti-semitism, the star has taken his stance by calling out the activists to stop using violence to harass others who don’t agree with their views, in this case, with the counter-attack by Israeli forces on Gaza in their attempt to destroy the terrorist group Hamas.
Mark Ruffalo’s Tweet Lands Him In Controversial Waters
This this may be his latest case of getting into a controversy by engaging in a controversial topic, but this is certainly not his first time. In the past, Mark Ruffalo has made several comments that have generated a lot of commotion on the internet and in real life, even getting blasted by Brazil’s former President Jair Balsanaro in the past when the star showed his disdain toward him.
And in that long line of controversies, Ruffalo also decided to tweet about protests that are happening all over the US on the Israel-Palestine Conflict.

In his most recent tweet on X, the Avengers: Endgame star wrote about a recent news report, where it was highlighted that a group of activists supporting the people of Palestine gathered in large numbers to protest in front of an Israeli restaurant. Thus, these protestors were swiftly dealt with by the authorities and were suppressed.
Ruffalo said in his tweet that they were living in the US, which is the land of the free, which also means that people have a right to disagree with anything they want and also voice it without the threat of violence and harassment while also asking the government of not using lethal suppression on protestors demonstrating peacefully.
This and the violence and harassment against Palestinian and Jewish people has got to stop. We can do better than this and show the world that here in the US we have the ability to disagree without trampling on the wellbeing of others. Even when we are witnessing it and upset…

What Was The News Article That Ruffalo Spoke About?
The article that Ruffalo linked with his tweet (via The Guardian) was about an activist demonstration in Philadelphia where people gathered in large numbers outside a Kosher restaurant named Goldie.
Outside, these protesters started to chant “You can’t hide, we charge you with genocide” as it was a business that was owned by an Israeli-American chef named Michael Solomonov. This was seen as an act of anti-semitism by the authorities, who suppressed the demonstration quickly. This was also talked about by many high-ranking officials of the government.
