Paramount has come out swinging against a Friday screed from Mark Ruffalo, in which the award-winning actor accused moguls David and Larry Ellison of “powering some of the most destructive and inhuman forces in the world.”
A spokesperson for the David Ellison-run enterprise said the company is “troubled when antisemitic tropes are invoked in purported service of a business dispute. Words like ‘genocide’ and ‘apartheid,’ applied to a corporate transaction, aren’t just wrong — they’re a bridge too far, and they cheapen the very real suffering those words are meant to describe. This doesn’t deserve a response in kind — and to be clear, we don’t tolerate prejudice of any kind, against anyone.”
This timeline is so fucking dumb, the Ellison’s are evil people and what makes them evil has nothing to do with their ethnicity or religion and everything to do with them being rich oligarchs who are actively tearing the fabric of society apart.
This doesn’t deserve a response in kind
om… then why did you… respond?

Great! Then stop helping Israel commit genocide.
Can you say, “free Palestine”?
Pathetic attempt to turn it around, typical tone-deaf aggressive asshole response.
Anything but talk about the current genocide being perpetrated by the Israel…
Ahh, yes, who would dare claim that PARAMOUNT tolerates prejudice?
It’s not like the best friend of their owners is literally one of history’s MOST prejudiced individuals or anything.
Being lectured about prejudice by Paramount is like being lectured about cannibalism by Dahmer.
as long as their money holds out, they will pretend whatever they can get away with.
… and suddenly Oracle, paramount, the Ellisons and Catz find themselves on the wrong side of history.
Suddenly? This ain’t sudden.
Suddenly?
They’ve been on the wrong side of history for a loooooooong time
That is such a nonsensical response from paramount that someone needs to get fired.
There is greedy and unethical, and then there is being incompetent to the point that you make the company seem even more evil and stupid than they already appeared to be.
Fascists have no creativity or imagination whatsoever
I have a list of actors who speak up, he’s going on it. I’ll support anything they do.
and to be clear, we don’t tolerate prejudice of any kind, against anyone.
Oh no, not prejudice! At Paramount, we draw the line at genocide. Please be more respectful towards people lawfully slaughtering countless children. Or we’ll come up with a good prompt for ChatGPT to destroy you on Twitter.
I think one of the real takeaways from this article needs to be “holy ducking shit, paramount and warner bros is merging?!?!”
Do they seriously believe that it would still work to try to portray entirely justified criticism of a state’s inhumane actions as anti-Semitism?
Anyone who still believes that—or at least claims to—cannot be a decent person, but is an open supporter of war crimes and genocide.
It is simply impossible not to see through this cheap, inherently corrupt ploy.
The fact that the Israel lobby and its billionaire backers are still trying this only makes it even clearer how morally depraved they are, for this manipulation of completely unfounded accusations of anti-Semitism even greatly fuels actual anti-Semitism itself—simply by equating Judaism with Zionism and the State of Israel, which is absolutely absurd. These inhumane monsters have even devised their own, completely absurd concept to silence criticism of Israel’s crimes from Jewish people—namely, the deranged construct of the so-called “self-hating Jew.”
The exploitation of religion to justify the most horrific atrocities really could not be any more obvious. Therefore, anyone who still attempts to suppress criticism of Israel’s actions with false claims of anti-semitism can only be a monster themselves, since they are undoubtedly supporting genocide—such people should be denounced wherever they are encountered and socially ostracized, for they are inhuman beings devoid of any morality.
Yes.
