August 28, 2026Challenged the characterization

Addressed record

Ruffalo criticized identified executives, a military technology relationship, and a corporate transaction rather than Jewish people as a group.

Speaker capacity: Filmmaker and playwright
Editorial rationale: The letter unequivocally disputes the allegation while allowing disagreement with Ruffalo's political ideas.
