Hollywood's Mark Ruffalo calls for a ceasefire at The DGA Awards
Mark Ruffalo has called for a ceasefire at the DGA awards and says “We’re not going to bomb our way to peace.” Though The Hulk actor mistakenly cited that there were 2,700 Palestinians dead (he meant more than 27,000 - ed.), he was passionate about calling for peace. He said: “We’ve come to understand this bombing isn’t working, we’re not going to bomb our way to peace, and all we’re saying is, what’s wrong with giving a ceasefire a chance? "We have a million refugees on the border of Rafah right now, who are looking at another bombing surge, and we have 400,000 people starving to death right now, without any humanitarian aid being able to get in there." He added: "So we’re asking the leaders of the world, especially President Biden, to demand a ceasefire, a lasting ceasefire, and give peace a chance instead of just a continued bombing, the escalation of violence and what will soon become a regional war that America will be dragged into.”
