Mark Ruffalo condemns Israeli PM for referring to Palestinian civilians killed in Gaza as collateral damage
Mark Ruffalo condemned Israeli PM Netanyahu for referring to Palestinian civilians killed in Gaza as “collateral damage’.
The comments from the Avengers star were made following a news report by HuffPost, where Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, called the dying Palestinians “collateral damage”.
Ruffalo said: No. Sorry. They are not “collateral damage” they are human beings who happen to have been born there and live there and most of those human beings are stuck there. Have some compassion, they are Palestinians not buildings or roads or things, they are human beings and so are the hostages whose lives you may also be destroying. They aren’t “collateral damage” either.
He added, “Netanyahu Calls Palestinians ‘Collateral Damage’ As Israel Destroys Gaza.”

Mark Ruffalo, who portrayed Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has left the internet divided with his pro-Palestine comments. And for the obvious reason he is now on target of pro-Israel trolls.
Thank you for speaking up for Palestinians. ❤️

While I disagree with hard core progressive Democrats on most issues, I’m with them on this. This takes balls for a Hollywood actor to tweet this, he’s risking gainful employment going forward… https://t.co/Ws3DQ119zp

This is why I love Mark Ruffalo, he has always spoken about Palestine and other important things, unlike a lot of people with platforms who are too afraid to say anything. https://t.co/IlEA9fStKA pic.twitter.com/6D30lWHdnp
