“Fauda” creator Avi Issacharoff has criticized Mark Ruffalo’s interpretation of the Israel-Hamas conflict, including his repeated claims of “genocide” in Gaza.
\n\n“Mark Ruffalo saying ‘Genocide, genocide.’ Then you know that there’s a kind of people that are ignorant, there are some people that are stupid. He’s a rare combination of those two,” Issacharoff said during a panel in London.
\n\n“I’m sorry to say that,” the Middle East analyst and producer continued. “Do you understand what it means ‘genocide’? Do you, as a lead actor in Hollywood, understand that when Israel allows every day 600 trucks of food and supply to go into Gaza, they are not intending or planning to kill the people of Palestine? Do you understand if more people were born during the war in Gaza than died, so no one was trying to eliminate those people and the only ones that were trying to commit genocide were Hamas people? And that guy and many other people don’t get it.”
\n\nIssacharoff co-created hit Israeli political thriller “Fauda” alongside actor Lior Raz, the fourth season of which returns to Netflix next week. He is also a journalist and political commentator who has written multiple books on the Middle East.
