Paramount has come out swinging against a Friday screed from Mark Ruffalo, in which the award-winning actor accused moguls David and Larry Ellison of “powering some of the most destructive and inhuman forces in the world.”

A spokesperson for the David Ellison-run enterprise said the company is “troubled when antisemitic tropes are invoked in purported service of a business dispute. Words like ‘genocide’ and ‘apartheid,’ applied to a corporate transaction, aren’t just wrong — they’re a bridge too far, and they cheapen the very real suffering those words are meant to describe. This doesn’t deserve a response in kind — and to be clear, we don’t tolerate prejudice of any kind, against anyone.”

    This timeline is so fucking dumb, the Ellison’s are evil people and what makes them evil has nothing to do with their ethnicity or religion and everything to do with them being rich oligarchs who are actively tearing the fabric of society apart.

    This doesn’t deserve a response in kind

    om… then why did you… respond?
