Case

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

Relationship to this case: Speaker

Mark Ruffalo linked Oracle’s assistance to the Israeli military and Larry Ellison’s Paramount–Warner bid to Gaza, surveillance, media concentration, and oligarchic power. Paramount and Jewish groups cited antisemitic tropes; Ruffalo’s defenders said he targeted executives and corporate conduct, not Jews.
