It really means something to me. Anywhere there\u2019s injustice in the world, I think, as an artist, we have a responsibility to speak up about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ruffalo then somehow decided that all warfare ought to be symmetrical, arguing, \u201cMy connection to Palestine came through Palestinians and hearing their stories and then watching this asymmetrical warfare being acted upon them and violence being acted upon them. And who pays the price? The citizenry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps Ruffalo should speak to the Israeli families who lost relatives during the terrorist campaign of the Second Intifada, when hundreds of Israelis were murdered by homicide bombers or other Palestinian terrorist acts. According to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/International_Institute_for_Counter-Terrorism\">International Institute for Counter-Terrorism<\/a>, during the Second Intifada, 887 of the 1,137 Israelis murdered in attacks from September 2000 \u2013 2005 were civilians.<\/p>\n<p>Or perhaps Ruffalo should speak to the relatives of the Fogel family, which was brutally slaughtered\u00a0in their home in 2012 by two Palestinian terrorists, including the decapitation of a three-month-old infant.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"12.292263610315\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Udi Fogel (age 36)<br \/>Ruth Fogel (age 35)<br \/>Yoav (age 11)<br \/>Elad (age 4)<br \/>Hadas (3 months)<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/OnThisDay?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#OnThisDay<\/a> 7 years ago, the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Fogel?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Fogel<\/a> family was brutally massacred by two Palestinian terrorists in Itamar, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Israel?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Israel<\/a>, as they slept in their home.<\/p>\n<p>May their beautiful memories always be blessed! \ud83d\udd6f\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hmVTS90SRT\">pic.twitter.com\/hmVTS90SRT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Arsen Ostrovsky (@Ostrov_A) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ostrov_A\/status\/1105229821460836352?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 11, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ruffal continued in the interview, \u201cAnd there\u2019s no reason that an ally of America should not be held to the same standards that we would any other nation in the world. Especially an ally. What I see there is wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps Ruffalo might want to explain why the IDF, unlike other armies in the world, often \u00a0phones ahead before it bombs a building to make sure the occupants can leave.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I spoke out about it and I was called an anti-Semite about it,\u201d he smiled, \u201cfor doing that, which was tough to hear. And the fact that so many people will take it to that extreme, when you\u2019re talking abut that kind of inequality, that kind of oppression, that kind of apartheid, really. And here we are in America, and we\u2019re looking at the very same thing. I mean, this is kind of an apartheid system. There is (sic) two Americas; there\u2019s the BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color) America and there\u2019s the white America. And that\u2019s an injustice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He bragged, \u201cAnd for some reason, I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s my calling here on Earth, but to fight these injustices is something that\u2019s important to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
