Paramount has criticised actor Mark Ruffalo after he referenced the Israel–Gaza war while opposing the Ellison family’s proposed merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. The company accused him of using antisemitic tropes, turning a corporate media deal into a dispute over rhetoric about Jewish identity and influence.

The available article text says Paramount issued its response on Saturday and identifies Ruffalo as a Marvel actor. It links his comments to the proposed Warner Bros. Discovery merger backed by the Ellison family, but does not provide the wording of Ruffalo’s post, the merger’s financial terms, or details of Paramount’s full statement.
