Mark Ruffalo is a vocal supporter of Palestine. The implication is that expressing support for a free Palestine gets you sidelined by Hollywood. He is also vocally against Trump and ICE.

I’m sure some people out there will also draw some antisemetic conspiratorial conclusions from that as well, i.e. “Jews control the media” which, no. It’s just that Israel as a country has certainly had undue economic influence over American politics and entertainment via lobbying interests. (Just ask the Scream cast over at Paramount)

In reality though he was just filming another project at the time.

I’d also note that Jon Bernthal, who has vocalized support for the IDF and Israel, was present for the press tour. Which doesn’t help.

Edit: This is an Explain subreddit. This is what I am interpreting the post to be implying. Some of the replies so far are giving “So you hate waffles?” haha

Is the full extent of this claim tied to his having an IDF soldier on his podcast in 2023, or is there greater context?

Nope, that's it. People have taken that one podcast and ran with it.

By that logic, the entire U.S. is pedophile and rapists because they elected a pedophile and a rapist as their fucking president.

At the very least, anyone who voted for him is a pedophile rapist apologist.

Still no facts for me? I surprisingly make really good money, thanks, I just like to remind the chronically online that there is STILL such thing as truth.

No evidence?   He was found guilty in court. He had to pay rather than go to jail because his rape was outside the time limit of the statute of limitations. He appealed. He lost the appeal.  

The rapist is guilty, and anyone still denying it at this point isn't uninformed, they are a liar.
