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.”

In another post on X-Platform, Rufallo said, “Netanyahu and his far-right zealots have taken Israel on multiple flights of fancy in the last year: dividing the country and the army over the fraudulent judicial reform, bankrupting its future with massive investments in religious schools that teach no math and in West Bank Jewish settlements that teach no pluralism — while building up Hamas, which would never be a partner for peace, and tearing down the Palestinian Authority, the only possible partner for peace.”

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.
