US actor Mark Ruffalo has slammed ongoing US support for Israel following the recent deaths of six Israeli captives held by Hamas, including Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, and the fatal shooting of Turkish-American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank.
The Hulk star cited the US government’s unwavering support for Israel during the war on Gaza - which has killed at least 40,972 Palestinians - and the expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank as proof of its complicity in the deaths of the two Americans.
“If [US President Joe] Biden remained steadfast to American law concerning military aid, his ‘red lines’ and the world outcry, his ability to use American law to leverage a ceasefire, these beautiful, young people would be alive today,” Ruffalo continued.
“Israel shoots dead activist” has to be the dumbest headline ever. What’s wrong with clarifying it by saying “Israel murders American activist”?
Why would you shoot a dead activist? Seems un-necessary…
Then it becomes antisemitic.
