Hulk again shows support for Palestine, Gaza

Hollywood actor Mark Ruffalo, famous for playing the Hulk, has once again voiced his support for Palestinians while highlighting the genocide in Gaza.

The c actor has repeated taken a stand for Palestine, this time shining a spotlight on the struggles and humanity of the people in Gaza.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, Ruffalo shared a video by photojournalist Motaz Azaiza from Gaza, praising his efforts to show the resilience and dignity of Palestinians facing genocide in Gaza.

“They’re not numbers, they're not the images we see on TV, they are people with love, hopes, and dreams,” Ruffalo said in the video.

 Motaz Azaiza, who has been documenting the harsh realities faced by Palestinians, shared Mark Ruffalo's video on Instagram expressing gratitude.

 “I spent my childhood watching Hulk, but I never imagined that one day I would receive a message of support from the actor who played hulk. Thank you @markruffalo for your support. Thank you for standing on the right side of history,” Motaz Azaiza wrote.

Members of the campaign show their commitment to justice and peace by wearing the Artists4Ceasefire enamel pin.

While Mark Ruffalo’s support for Palestine has changed in the past, with some earlier tweets deleted, his current message emphasizes the importance of staying united and taking action. He called on people to donate, share stories, and advocate for justice, saying, “Every action counts.”

 Earlier, American actor Mark Ruffalo, popularly known as The Hulk, has apologised for his statement which suggested that Israel is committing “genocide” in Palestine.

“I have reflected and wanted to apologise for posts during the recent Israel/Hamas fighting that suggested Israel is committing ‘genocide’,” the actor wrote on Twitter. “It’s not accurate, it’s inflammatory, disrespectful and is being used to justify anti-Semitism here and abroad.”

“Now is the time to avoid hyperbole,” added Ruffalo.

The actor’s apology comes following weeks of violence on Palestinians during which Pakistani celebrities, as well as international celebrities, took to social media and came out on roads to condemn Israeli atrocities in Palestine.

However, Mark hasn’t deleted his earlier tweets supporting Palestinians and they are still up on his account.

Earlier in October 2020, Ruffalo had referred to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the division between the two as a “kind of apartheid” while speaking to television host Mehdi Hasan on the self-titled NBC program.

He also accused the Israeli government of carrying out “asymmetrical warfare” against the Palestinian people, and tied in United States’ support for Israel as plainly aiding and abetting the separation and the “violence acted upon them.”
