Paramount Calls Ruffalo 'Antisemitic' Over Oracle-Israel Merger Post
- On Friday, actor Mark Ruffalo intensified his campaign against the Paramount-Warner Bros. $111 billion merger, accusing the Ellison family of profiting from technology tied to Israel's military actions in Gaza.
- Ruffalo shared an Instagram video of Oracle executive vice chair Safra Catz describing assistance to Israel following the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack, linking the firm to the ongoing conflict.
- Calling Larry Ellison a "classic Oligarch," Ruffalo claimed the firm's technology would be merged into the media empire; Paramount dismissed the remarks as "antisemitic tropes" and "a bridge too far."
- The $111 billion deal remains stalled after a lawsuit by 12 state Attorneys General, with reports suggesting the merger could eliminate 4,500 film and TV jobs in Los Angeles County over three years.
- Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass recently pushed for "all parties to come to the table" to finalize the acquisition, contrasting with continued opposition from Ruffalo and other activists.
