Australian actor Guy Pearce has issued a public apology for sharing “misinformation and falsehoods” on social media about Israel including the false claim the Jewish state has “utter disdain for Palestinian life.”

Pearce, born in Cambridgeshire, England, and raised in Geelong, Australia, has since declared he is leaving social media.
