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.

She literally didn’t. She said Gaza was being treated like the holocaust (they were/are) and her company said it was NO holocaust and that she made “false references” of genocide. Meaning they don’t believe Israel committed a genocide which we now know to be true. The UN stated Israel was committing genocide and we’ve have numerous ceasefire since.
Therefore Melissa Barrera was 100% correct in saying that. She was punished for being educated way earlier than others .
She said Gaza was being treated like the holocaust
No, not even that, I know your intentions are good but you are defaming her. She said Gaza was being treated like a concentration camp (which isn't exclusive to the holocaust, and which genocide scholars like Norman Finklestein have said too, even before October 7th.
She NEVER compared the Gaza genocide to the Holocaust, stop saying that she did because it's a lie and it encourages zionists to keep lying about her.
Is Norman Finkelstein the guy who put a sign on his black upstairs neighbors’ door calling them “apes” and then showed up to their apartment with a knife and a gun?
Oh shut the fuck up about holocaust, Gaza is bad but unfortunately not super exceptional in comparison to other conflicts of this century and in no way close to the industrialized slaughter of the holocaust.
So the worst currently ongoing conflict is Ukraine-Russia. Very simple, Russia attacked Ukraine completely unprovoked, wants the territory and russifies the parts it can get its hands on.
Is that on the same level as the holocaust?
I dont think so, the end goal of the russian invasion is terrifying but its not the complete systematic slaughter of the Ukrainian population. Same for Israel, i believe their goal is to get rid of Hamas. They very much committed war crimes and Bibis government needs to be deposed but its not fkin holocaust.
If you take issue with comparing these two based on the statistics, then, circling back to my original reply, you surely must have an even bigger problem with the holocaust comparison, no?
