Paramount Skydance accuses Mark Ruffalo of invoking antisemitic tropes in opposing Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition

Paramount Skydance issued a statement accusing actor Mark Ruffalo of using antisemitic tropes after he criticized the company's proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by linking Oracle's technology work with Israel to the deal. Ruffalo denied the accusation, calling it appalling and fundamentally dishonest, and said criticizing Israel or a military technology contract is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. The dispute centers on Ruffalo's Instagram posts targeting Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison and Paramount board member Safra Catz over Oracle technology used by Israel following the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack.
