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.”



I can’t fathom the mind of anyone who survived that horror turning around and perpetrating it in kind on their own neighbors. No one, not a single human being, deserves that. I’m sorry that happened to your family. And I’m sorry that these sociopaths are exploiting that same tragedy for their own gain. Genuinely and truly, you have all my sympathy. I can’t imagine what that must be like.
