Published May 25, 2021 12:00am ET



Marvel actor Mark Ruffalo apologized Monday night for tweets where he accused Israel of committing “genocide” amid the most recent violence in the Middle East.

“I have reflected & wanted to apologize for posts during the recent Israel/Hamas fighting that suggested Israel is committing ‘genocide’. It’s not accurate, it’s inflammatory, disrespectful & is being used to justify antisemitism here & abroad. Now is the time to avoid hyperbole,” Ruffalo tweeted.
