Mark Ruffalo slams US govt after Israel shoots dead activist

US actor Mark Ruffalo has slammed ongoing US support for Israel following the recent deaths of six Israeli captives held by Hamas, including Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, and the fatal shooting of Turkish-American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank.

The Hulk star cited the US government’s unwavering support for Israel during the war on Gaza - which has killed at least 40,972 Palestinians - and the expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank as proof of its complicity in the deaths of the two Americans.

“If [US President Joe] Biden remained steadfast to American law concerning military aid, his ‘red lines’ and the world outcry, his ability to use American law to leverage a ceasefire, these beautiful, young people would be alive today,” Ruffalo continued.

“Israel shoots dead activist” has to be the dumbest headline ever. What’s wrong with clarifying it by saying “Israel murders American activist”?

The word order is incorrect English. “Israel shoots dead activist” indicates they shooting was done to a corpse. The correct wording would be “Israel shoots activist dead” meaning that Israel shot a living activist resulting in their death. As far as using the word “murder,” while I agree with it that is a legal concept that journalists avoid when discussing state actions to guard against charges of libel.

Shoots dead activist

There are less clumsy ways of phrasing that Israel killed someone.
