US actor Mark Ruffalo has slammed ongoing US support for Israel following the recent deaths of six Israeli captives held by Hamas, including Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, and the fatal shooting of Turkish-American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank.
The Hulk star cited the US government’s unwavering support for Israel during the war on Gaza - which has killed at least 40,972 Palestinians - and the expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank as proof of its complicity in the deaths of the two Americans.
“If [US President Joe] Biden remained steadfast to American law concerning military aid, his ‘red lines’ and the world outcry, his ability to use American law to leverage a ceasefire, these beautiful, young people would be alive today,” Ruffalo continued.
Slams! Dut duh duh, dut duh duh. Let the boys be boys!
Hulk Slam
I am so tempted to make my first Lemmy bot that just shitposts a gif of something being slammed every time the word shows up in a headline. Although I’ll need a pretty beefy server because that’s gonna be a looooot of headlines.
I’ve just been doing it manually every time I see it. It’s probably getting old, but then that’s the point, innit?
