Ruffalo made a tweet to give an apology saying his remarks were not accurate and were inadvertently used to justify antisemitism. 'I have reflected & wanted to apologize for posts during the recent Israel/Hamas fighting that suggested Israel is committing “genocide," he tweeted. 'It’s not accurate, it’s inflammatory, disrespectful & is being used to justify antisemitism here & abroad. Now is the time to avoid hyperbole.'
