Paramount slams Mark Ruffalo's latest merger attack as "antisemitic." "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 brings us to a moment to lower the temperature, not raise it. We’d rather build than further engage in such rhetoric. This simply exposes the true motivation of some who have advocated opposition to this transaction. On the other hand, our commitment to great content is matched by our commitment to acceptance – to every story, every storyteller, and no blacklists, no exceptions, for anyone.” Earlier today, Ruffalo shared a video of Oracle’s executive vice chair Safra Catz boasting about the company’s efforts to "advance the agenda for the Israeli military" by making "really profoundly scary technology" available to them. He slammed the Ellison family's ties to Israel and their role in “what we now have come to see as a genocide” in Gaza, adding: "This is the company that Larry Ellison is using to fund his son David’s Warner Bros acquisition." variety.com/2026/film/news/p…
