When Israel announced on June 8 that four hostages kidnapped by Hamas were rescued, actor Mark Ruffalo wrote these lines on X: `It`s so good to see the hostages return. A ceasefire would have gotten many more hostages back and no civilians and children killed. This siege is cruel and senseless. Grinding innocent human beings and their culture into blood soaked rubble and dust, to be buried and forgotten. Four for 274 including kids. It`s a sinful equation that keeps repeating.

Mark R, you`re a true gentleman and a conscientious human being, unlike countless of your Hollywood colleagues.
