Jewish Leaders Speak Out Against Actor Mark Ruffalo’s ‘Antisemitic’ Attack Against Ellison Family
Jewish leaders said Ruffalo’s post used antisemitic tropes as he attacked the Ellison family and Oracle over the Paramount merger.
- Last week, actor Mark Ruffalo posted an Instagram story targeting Paramount board member Safra Catz and the Ellison family, calling Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison a "classic oligarch" and accusing them of "powering some of the most destructive and inhuman forces."
- Since the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks and ensuing war in Gaza, Ruffalo has frequently used his platform to accuse Israel of "genocide" and "apartheid," drawing criticism from Jewish and pro-Israel organizations.
- Paramount condemned the actor's remarks as "troubled when antisemitic tropes are invoked in purported service of a business dispute," while Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt wrote that Ruffalo's comments were "gaslighting 101."
- California Attorney General Rob Bonta canceled planned settlement talks on Sunday, citing bad faith by Paramount. Ruffalo fired back, calling the studio's accusations "appalling and fundamentally dishonest."
- Rabbi Noah Farkas, president of Jewish Federation Los Angeles, said Ruffalo's rhetoric draws on "recognizable antisemitic tropes," though J Street defended him on Monday, arguing his corporate criticism is not antisemitic.
