Case record

Did Mark Ruffalo’s Paramount–Warner criticism invoke antisemitic tropes?

Mark Ruffalo connected Oracle’s assistance to the Israeli military and Larry Ellison’s financing of Paramount’s proposed Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition to concerns about Gaza, surveillance, media concentration, and oligarchic power. Paramount and several Jewish organizations said his framing echoed conspiracies about Jewish wealth and media control. Ruffalo and his defenders argued that he criticized identified executives, military contracts, and a documented corporate transaction—not Jews as a group.
