Hollywood’s silence over events in Iran is appalling, especially from those who wasted no time in condemning Israel for a non-existent genocide. And it is hard to find a more appalling celebrity amongst the appalling than Mark Ruffalo aka The Incredible Sulk.

Let’s leave it to an Iranian protester to rip him the new one he deserves:

“Mr Mark Ruffalo why are you talking about ICE, the one single woman that died that came in front of ICE?
Neither of you have lived under the Islamic Republic tyranny.”

Ruffalo claims he ‘doesn’t know how to be quiet, yet he’s managed to find his mute button exactly when the Iranian people needed a voice most. The Hulk might be green, but Ruffalo’s true color is yellow.
