Avenger’s star Mark Ruffalo is falling back on comments he made on Twitter showing his pro-Palestine stance.
His apologised on Monday suggesting that Israel had committed “genocide” during the 11-day conflict with Palestine in Gaza. Ruffalo said his posts were not “accurate” and they were “inflammatory and disrespectful”.
The actor did not clarify which tweets he was apologising for, as he also compared Israel to apartheid South Africa.
Ruffalo’s apology was not welcomed by some, as people thought he should have stood his ground. The Incredible Hulk actor has been outspoken on many societal issues including the Black Lives Matter movement and climate change.
