Recalling a past incident where Ruffalo had to retract his support for Palestine, Shah expresses admiration for the actor's refusal to be silenced this time. The duo's shared commitment to speaking out against injustice becomes evident in the wake of Ruffalo's recent tweet, reigniting conversations around the Israel-Palestine conflict.

In a compelling video statement, Ruffalo challenges the dehumanizing label of 'collateral damage' placed upon Palestinians, emphasizing their inherent humanity. His tweet, responding to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's characterization of Palestinians, sparks widespread discussion on social media, with Shah and others praising Ruffalo for recognizing the people of Palestine as more than statistics.

His tweet reads, "No. Sorry. They are not 'collateral damage'. They are human beings who happen to have been born there and live there and most of those human beings are stuck there. Have some compassion, they are Palestinians not buildings or roads or things, they are human beings and so are the hostages whose lives you may also be destroying. They aren’t 'collateral damage' either."
