I'm thrilled to see an actress from Hollywood speaking out about antsemitism. Thank you Debra Messing!!
Palestinians are Semites.
I'm a Christian and every cell on my body stand with Jewish people.
So, here I am. 🇦🇷🫂🇮🇱
christian preachers get attacked and spat on in Israel, you should visit just hide the fact your christian and your cross

Don't you put the argentinian flag with the terrorist state of Israel

Same - we must, as Christians, be on the right side of history. ❤
After hearing from Debra Messing, I so wish that American Jews had a better Jewish education. A Jew should know more of their history than just he Holocaust. We were all over the world, rich traditions, intellectuals, philosophies, etc. History of the Jewish people also globally, and about the diversity of Jewish communities all over the world, and their beauty. As well as other pogroms, not just of Ashkenasi Jews.
I agree with this so much. As an Ashkenazi Jew, I grew up learning about the Jewish experience in Europe. I learned a little about Sephardi in the Spanish Inquisition and when I visited Argentina. But there are so many cultures of Judaism all over the world that are never spoken about, or taught in history classes, unless you belong to that group and have a personal story to tell. If the histories of Jews in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East outside of Israel were taught more in schools, it would kill the narrative of all Jews being agents of European colonialism within non-Jews and American Jews that don’t belong to a Jewish community.
Over a hundred countries, over a thousand times...
Must be a rich history of overstaying a welcome.
Most of us do know this history. If our parents raised us right they sent us to the right schools and taught us at home. It is up to our schools and families. If we didn't have that growing up, it's on us to educate ourselves. The Internet is free.
American jews lost their heritage and replaced it with progressivism.
@@Doctor.Kapow. Your jealousy is showing.
She needs to go back and look at the unedited version of Trump's Charlottesville speech. He was talking about people on both sides of the debate on tearing down statues, and he literally said he did not mean the Nazis. I'm not a Trump fan. But a friend of mine challenged me on this, and I checked. Sure enough, the press totally manipulated that.
My respect I have for the actor Ms Messing has risen hundred fold for her activism. I am non-Jewish but I am a Zionist because I believe that Jews have a undeniable right to a homeland. Am Israel Chai from Malta 🎗💙🇮🇱🇲🇹💙🎗
Thank you

I’m a Russian Jew who fled USSR, to Australia. Russia had true institutional antisemitism , a quota for how many Jews were accepted into medicine, engineering at universities…I am a proud Australian citizen…but on the October 8 th, I saw Arabs chanting Gas the Jews on the steps of our iconic Sydney Opera House…and I knew that it will be a different world for all Jews…it has only made us more “ Jewish” we will always find the light…. thank you for this Podcast…❤🇮🇱🇦🇺🇦🇺🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

@lizw.4901 anti-zionist is not to be conflated with anti-semetic. Plenty of Jews around the world are fully agaisnt the terrorist state of Isreal and it's ongoing genocide of Palestinians. ZioNazis are as Jewish as the KKK is Christian. Fake liars.
Thank you.
Antizionism is NOT Antisemitism . Full Stop .
Yeah can't believe liberal party is so antisemitic. Who would of thought Trump/republicans be the ones who has Israels back!?!?
As a Jew it is really nice to see the non Jewish supporters in the comments, thank you guys ☺️. Debra I’ve been a fan since will and grace, and am now in awe of your courage! From a fellow red headed Jew

“Very fine people on both sides, and I’m not talking about the neo-nazis who should be condemned totally” that’s the FULL quote.
Why she and others CONTINUE to perpetuate this misquote is beyond me. I am a Christian, a Trump supporter, and abhor and rebuke antisemitism.

Being Jewish and experiencing antisemitism at the age of 4 in the former USSR (I am turning 55 just like Debra) my family emigrated to Israel after the Yom Kippur war in 1973. My parents wanted me and my brother to be safe! And here I am in Europe having my children directly experiencing threats to their lives being Jewish. I am not recovering from the shock of seeing how evil crazy and up side down the world we live in is. A world that never came out of the darkness of blind Jew hatred. I feel broken because I have no idea where to start speaking for my folk who have a right for civil rights and for Israel that has every right to exist like any country! Not sure why people hate Jews so much. The only thought that comes to mind is- ENVY! Thank you Debra and shay 🙏

Most jews do not support this genocide.
This lady sure doesnt stand w you though. Advocated for transideology for kids - hurting them. Metoo against all white men villifying them. Sided w racist BLM against all white people in the West (our land please let that be noted) probably advocated for defund the police aka let looters roam free and open boarders in order to do away with the Western civilization by migration of muslim fiends.

Shai you need to expose every professor and administrator who has shunned you.
Shunned is the least of it. They have discriminated and broken several federal laws with Shai.
Shai and his wife were harassing the students at Columbia . Shame on anyone supporting the terrorists state of Isra hell
My dear Deborah, thank you for your courage and support. Douglas Murray described what happened very well - it is like a flare went up in the sky on Oct 7th, and everyone could see exactly where everyone stands. A "masks off" moment in history. Unfortunately, it seems that for many celebrities and people in power positions, "activism" is nothing more than virtue signaling. They will never risk themselves for true values.
For other - it is just pure hate that motivates them. The "old kind" of hate.
Yes, in times like this, we realize we have nowhere to turn to except our own people, and I would have to say also our faith. Even though I'm a religious Jew, I find it comforting. We have to admit that our values and our way of life as Jews are what helped us survive endless persecutions all through our history. Am Israel Chai!!!❤
You can turn not just to your own people, but also to Christians. I don't mean the clergy, who seems to just follow the wind, but the faithful and the maybe not faithful but deeply imbued with christian values.
Douglas Murray is a beacon of truth in the dark shadow rolling across the West. We must stand up and fight back.

Enough is enough - it is a moral imperative for everyone to stand with Jewish People and Israel. I am a proud Anglo-Saxon woman and I have and will continue to stand and fight for justice. There is no-place for antisemitism in this world.
lol so are we not supposed to stand with ?
Unfortunately UK shows the opposite. It's sad that either nothing is said or done in the UK or most are silent. It feels like 1930's Germany in the UK. Especially the government and courts. Thank you for saying something

Thank you both for this interesting and alarming conversation. Stay strong! And I still stand firmly on the side of Israel and the Jewish people, as do other decent and reasonable people.
Thanks for not falling for the media lies, the fake human rights ngo’s, and the corrupted UN overrun by Islamic nations. No one hears the truth these days. Everyone now thinks the Palestinians are innocent little lambs because that’s the agenda. I’ve found some journalists who have lived in israel temporarily that have reported on the orchestrated media bias against Israel, but not enough! Thanks for seeing the truth.
Jewish lives matter❤ Israeli lives matter❤
Do Palestinian live matter?
@@Kick_Rocks of course they do. most humans do not have collective humanism in the way you seem too. To those actually involved in this conflict, it is not a side to take but our lives. both sides matter, and my jewish family are the ones who instilled that in me.
@@Kick_Rocks Not to palestinians and islam they don't. Their deaths matter more, "after life" matters more according to islamic viewpoint. At least according to their leaders anyway.
I think 3000 years of history have demonstrated..to most non jews..they don't. THAT is the whole tragedy of the Jewish people and the whole subject of this video talk
Palestinians live matter also .shame on anyone supporting the terrorists state of Israel
Thank you Debra Messing for standing up for us
Im a British Catholic and I’m devastated on behalf of the Jewish community and Israel and pray for the hostages, lost one’s, friends and families. Sadly, the public opinion in the UK is to side with Gaza and Hamas which is shameful. In Britain we’re not taught about the role that British had to play about the control of the land that is now known as (rightfully) Israel and the part it played after WW1 and just after WW2. If we learned this we would know that the Arabs were attacking Jewish people long before the mass immigration after the holocaust.
@@thebatridesagain yup! Never listen to the narrative. Smart people know they've been massacring us since long before independence. And for those of you who don't know, all you need to do is Google the Hebron massacre of 1929, a tad before independence.
No Western country is taught its history these days. I wonder how that is?

I am the same age as Debra Messing, but having grown up in Brooklyn, experiencing antisemitism as a child is completely foreign to me. When I hear stories like hers I am astounded because I think "it was the 70s not the 30s." Very naive of me.
She’s dramatic-she was as hateful to conservatives -I’ve seen her on twitter-honestly she was disgusting-I stand w the Jews not with her !
Deborah your childhood story is where it starts and end and the gist of the story. You are inspiring and Shay you are the voice of many many Israelis. Keep leading the way.
I had exactly the same experience but in the Bronx. I was 6 when my best friend told me his pastor told him he couldn’t talk to me anymore because I am Jewish.

How interesting to be a Jew in this world. You can do everything right, stand up for equal rights for everyone, treat everyone with kindness and yet so many will still hate you, nonetheless… Based on nothing and everything at the same time. I ask myself would I trade places if I could, and not be looked down upon by others. The answer is a resounding NO. I am proud to be Jewish. We are able to see life from a unique position. I would rather be the hated than the hater any day. I love you both for speaking out against hate and not letting others reshape what you know to be true 💙🫶

Dear Shai, so glad that you have found your calling. The antisemitism that you experienced as a professor, is unconscionable. You are the future Jewish voice…one of several amazing advocates for the Jewish people. You are still a teacher…on,y on a different, wider platform. Your defiant opposition to those who tried to silence you, just because of who and what you are, is to be admired and viewed as heroic. I’m so proud of you for taking this brave step..risking so much, knowing that you have a family to support, but your sacrifice for the good of other Jews, who have not stood up to the kind of hatred and oppression , before and during the Holocaust , will not go unnoticed. Brave soul…you are our future!
Well said. You are so right, he is still a teacher.
@@jittmet7766 and yet, through no desire of his own, Shai accidentally found his true calling, which is to be a leader and vital voice of a nation, in addition to his regular vocation of professor & teacher. Quite frankly he deserves the Nobel.
Bless you both from a Jewish mama in Sydney Australia. We are one and we are strong.
I now love Debra Messing more than ever. I don't know why more prominent Jewish people aren't speaking out. And I don't know why more allies aren't speaking out; it's very disappointing. I am not Jewish but I proudly stand 100% for Israel and the Jewish people. I am shocked by the level of anti-semitism in our society, by the lies people believe about Israel, about the hatred they have for what is moral and good. I refuse to be on the wrong side of history - I will stand up for Israel to anyone that will listen. Martin Luther King said, "it will not be the words of our enemies that we remember, but the silence of our friends". Why is the world silent? I am LGBT and I am ashamed of most of them. Thank you for this video - these voices are important! We cannot be silenced!
I’m also a pro Israel activist, non Jewish. I supported lgbt and minority rights for many years only to see them turn against Israel. I will not stand with any of them any longer. I stand only with the Jewish people.

As a Canadian patrilineal Jew, I've always only celebrated Hanukkah at home. My mom introduced me to my paternal grandfather's religion when I was around 7 years old because she wanted me to know about my Jewish heritage. My grandfather was never super religious, but he was very culturally Jewish. It didn't seem like a big deal throughout my childhood and throughout my teenage years. It wasn't until my thirties did I realize there was hatred towards Jews in the world. Then, Oct 7th happened and I saw so many of my poetry and open mic friends support Palestine that I felt alone in my support for Israel. I'm the only Jew in my open mic community where I perform comedy once a week and I also wrote a poem/lyrics after Oct 7th because I was astounded that not many people were outraged by the attacks. I feel it's important for me to continue to be a voice for the Jewish people.
Good for you . Reacting in a time of need are the great people
Please don't pay mind if you ever hear the more religious-minded tell you you're "not really Jewish because your mother isn't. You're half Jewish; you're part of the "tribe," Being Jewish is not just about religion; it's about a people. If you're born Jewish, even if you're secular, you're still a Jew.
@@zeek2436 Thanks! I won't pay mind to those people. My grandfather being Jewish, makes me around 30% or so Ashkenazi according to ancestry results, so part of the tribe. I was surprised when I found out the Ashkenazi was the majority of my dna. Everything else was 20%, 15% and lower.

I will never forget her calling for the release of names of people attending a fundraiser years ago for President Donald Trump. Messing w people’s livelihoods based on her hatred for Trump (and his supporters) is disgusting and vile. Maybe she will reflect on her hateful behavior now that she’s on the receiving end of hate…

I will be 60 this year and grew up understanding, having compassion for, and sympathizing with Jews when it came to the Holocaust. I always thought what a horrible moment in history - that could never possibly happen again. I’m ashamed to say I did not fully understand the hatred that continues to this day all over the world for the Jewish people. Yes, I knew about the wars, but it was so far from the US and removed from my life here I did not pay attention. I can’t comprehend where the hatred stems from and my heart physically aches with what has been going on since my eyes were widened and slammed open on Oct 7th. I’M PAYING ATTENTION!!
Thank you for this podcast. This conversation is important for so many reasons but especially to educate. Stay strong.

Messing was quite happy to harass Trump supporters and the Republican party non stop because it was acceptable with her peers. Given that she is only speaking up now because her ethnic/religious group is being attacked shows how despicable she is. Other than that as a non Jew I stand with Israel and Jews always - well maybe not Messing, David Packman, Destiny.
Anyone who sympathizes with plastilin and believes the propaganda against Jews regarding what is happening in Gaza encourages another October 7th in Europe and the U.S. Supporting such actions as a reward for horrific deeds inspires others around the world.
She should listen to the whole Trump's comments on Charlottesville

Its just further ignorance about Judaism.
If Judaism was good enough for JESUS,who was killed by the Romans for being Jewish, why isn't good enough for all his life followers ???
Finally someone admits how much Jews support all marginalized groups only to find out none of them actually support us in our hour of pain and need. Does not mean we give up the effort but certainly raise suspicion as to who really is our true friend.
Minorities consider you white ( unless they are non- white) thus a non - minority in their view. Despite the fact numerically they are & religiously they are.
Minorities in the ignorance of the usa do- you arent free of being jewish just because you dont practice judaism anywhere else on the planet- you just get the geography after the jewish@Cristobal-iy7cy

Well done Shai and Debra, and thank you!
Debra Messing's account of anti-Semitism in her Rhode Island town brought me back to my own experiences with it as a college student in Rhode Island. There is a LOT of anti-Semitism there. As a freshman in a co-ed dorm, I had a neighbor who was a rabid anti-Semite that never lost an opportunity to let me know that I was hated. In the decades after my graduation, I've occasionally had thoughts of tracking that person down for retribution, as they are still in RI, but something in me thinks, "nah, it's not worth it for one miserable person. Better to be an activist to prevent that hater and their fellow cowards from doing further damage in the world."
Don’t ever waste your time thinking about that despicable antisemite. ❤

She had respect for professors & elite universities. Sorry Debra you must have been under a rock for years & I mean YEARS. That was the start of your problem, you also swallowed the ideology they espoused & didn’t realise it viewed Jews as oppressors. 🙄
Yeah, really crazy. Every time there was outbreak of war with Hamas the protests were gradually becoming more & more violent.
BLM and other minorities never really supported Jews, they used them. Rude awakening I guess.
It viewed jews as a roadblock to oppression olympics. if they can fix themselves and not be slaves and not hate themselves and be a proper ally to boot. resentment ammo for sure
I learned a long time ago that facts don’t matter to those who are ignorant and hateful.
Oh..almost forgot…the new generation of heroes, voice…you, Eylon Levy and Eitan Levy! Love you all!
also, Douglas Murray, Mosab Hassan Yousef, and Eitan Chitayat.
Absolutely. I already mentioned Eitan. I proudly wear his jewelry…”I’m that Jew”.
@@bambooseragardenista8329Douglas Murray is amazing… not Jewish, but such an amazing advocate. And Nate Buzz (also not Jewish) and Daniel Ryan Spaulding…power gay! Not Jewish, but so very vocal, knowledgeable and speaks truth to power.
@@RonnieKaufman1thank you for sharing!🇮🇱🇮🇱
@@RonnieKaufman1 yes to all of them. And Ritchie Torres, who is the Democratic US Congressman from NY, a Latino, gay man who has championed Israel and the Jewish people. So grateful that we have these remarkable people going to bat for us.
I am Christian and I stand with Jews ❤ and with Israel Always and forever, no matter what! All I can do is To shere these kind of videos and trying To spread the truth! ❤ And send hugs and Love To you and all the Jews around the wold! ❤🇮🇱🇫🇮
Honest question. Has Debra Messing ever apologized to conservatives for the way that she publicly trashed them? Years ago she was on Twitter with one of her former costars publicly talking about how they wanted to blacklist Trump supporters in Hollywood. She thought it was fair for people who have opinions that differed from hers to have difficulty working. She didn't want to associate with anyone who would support Trump. Fast forward to the present day and i's pretty much only conservatives who support Israel without reservation.
I don't follow her so I am unaware if she has addressed this. It would be nice of her to show appreciation to a group of people she has been so hostile towards.
I agree completely. It always seemed rather ironic that as a Jewish woman, she would take that attitude towards those who didn't agree with her. I hope this gives her pause and makes her reevaluate her previous words and actions.
Debra you are amazing!!!! Someone has to stand up for the Jewish people!!🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
19:39 darling, with all my heart I’ll say this, you come down to my Catholic community here in Tennessee and you’ll feel loved and embraced, not for movies and fame, but for our love and appreciation for the Jewish people and Israel! I hope at the very least the horror and trauma of last October can help you understand that we Trump voting conservative folks are NOT the boogie man you’ve been told! Peeling decades of propaganda is laboring and painful, but they’ve been abusing your good faith and your good will for decades. Come see us here in Tennessee! Our church is making an international dinner where folks make dishes from our families’ ancestral homes. We got Nigerians, Brazilians, Philippinos, Italians, Scotts… Despite what they’ve been showing on the nightly news, we got y’all’s back! We love you! We cherish our Jewish community in Tennessee! Ain’t nobody gonna mess with you cause we all packing, even us ladies… 😜😅🥰🥰
So true! 😀 She needs to get out of the large cities such as NYC and LA and see that real, authentic, good people live in Midwest, the South, etc. My advice to Deborah: Get away from the coastal elites for a while and open your eyes 👀
Thank you both so much 🙏🇮🇱✡️
Why don't you clearly define who "they" are, Ms. Messing? It's mostly your party, the left. I see your pain and hope you now understand.
@ingridswen. I replied to your comment but accidentally made my comment on the person above you. If you can read my comment I left on her comment.
@@nancikuba42 I'm sorry, I could not find the comment. What did you say?
@@ingridswenI can't seem to find it either, but from your previous comment, I must have supported your comment.
Of course. Tucker, Candice, and others. Jew haters are on both sides, but democrats cater to them, while leading republicans have strong moral compass.
Debra, you're awesome. I cried more than I care to admit during this interveiw.. thanks so much for not staying quiet! We appreciate you here in Israel ❤
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Great,great,great
Thank you both 🙏. Two beautiful strong souls.
She spreads several mistruths about President Trump.
Its crazy that she is so upset at this, but willingly allows herself to be in threatening situations, because of her hate....of Trump.
What would be safer? A jew at a Trump rally? Or a jew at a Kamala rally?
Bless you both❤ This was very healing for me.That's so hard for me to get my Feelings out.I feel the same as you too🎉😮🙏🇮🇱💙🤍💪🩵🩷🧡💛💚🤩
HILLEL IS RELENTLESS!
Absolute hero, just like you two!
Thank you for the voices so many of us cant find!
Amazing ACHI!!!! Am Yisrael Chai!!!!

I have watched this over and over. I can’t get enough. You are our future.
no ur futur is oblivion like israel
I’m inspired! Great podcast and fantastic guest. Am Yisrael Chai 🇺🇸🇮🇱
Thank you, Shai, thank you Debra. Much AHAVA from a fellow Jew in Finland.
As a none Jewish person, I hope that you'll accept my support.
What happened against the Jewish people on October 7th was an abomination.
Also any innocent Men, Women and Children whatever race, colour, creed or religion who are murdered butchered.
My horror at what has and what is happening is terrifying.
I was born in 62. Less than 20 years away from World War ll but close enough for it still to be fresh in everyone's memory.
I went out with a Jewish lad many years ago and also knew another lad whose parents were got out but who had lost everyone in the Holocaust. Imagine being an only child with only parents, but no extended family. Auntie 's, Uncle's cousins, grandparents. Coming from a family who has large extended family. My Nan was one of nine and my Grandad one of sixteen. Yes sixteen it's almost impossible to imagine.
Don't get me wrong I find it so hard to see the Palestinian men, women and especially the children being killed, but unless we come to a political solution, like in Northern Ireland which had taken generations there will never be an end.
My fear is the Anti Semitism that is on the rise increasingly, not just here in the U.K.but Europe and from this in America also.
Our soldiers that came across the first concentration camps including the Russians who liberated Aushcwitz never forget the horror's they saw.
We had and actor called Dirk Bogart in the U.K. who was at the liberation of Bergen Belsen, he never forgot or forgave the Germans for the horror's he saw. Now not forgiving may or may not be right, but it is understandable.
We are a few generations on now from that horrific time and ignorance and lack of education and hatred, has Anti- semitism on the rise again.
What is astounding is the so called actors who've made their money off the back of their faith, not standing up for the victims of October 7th but happy to make the money off it. Also if they think it will save them from the hated of anti-semitism is unfortunately naive in the extreme.
I find both Debra Messing and the interviewer, standing up for what they believe in admirable. Good luck to you both.
I hope that the remaining hostages who are still alive and the war can come to an end. For everyone's sake.
What’s happening to the Jews being attacked like this is deplorable
Debra, I feel so many of the same things you talked about. Especially your feelings about Israel. Thank you so much
Trump's comment "Good people on both sides was NOT in reference to the nazis in Charlorresville. It was a reference to those there on Friday who were against removing the statue. Even Snopes admits this. To state otherwise is just slander against the man.
The Charlottesville comment has been debunked, why is she still perpetuating it?
Made me sad she brought that up and hasn’t educated herself. I have spent so many hours educating myself because all the hate for Jewish people has broke my heart. I wanted to find out how this hate could spread so fast.
If she cares about safety of Jews and Israeli Jews she should vote for Trump
Trump is our only hope.
Trump was not talking about the Neo Nazis
Yes, the media twisted his words and turned it against him. Hopefully, Debra realizes it now. Trump is the most genuine and sincere supporter of Israel.
TRUMP/VANCE 2024 🇺🇸
I do wish she would reflect and understand that Trump wasn't talking about NeoNaz! Protesters. The current administration isn't supporting Israel, Kamala is even more against Israel than Biden. The whole narrative is so twisted and strange now. Protesters supporting terrorism is something I never thought I would see.
Yes, and he publicly denounced the neo-Nazi’s numerous times. In addition, he has 3 grandchildren who are Jewish, his son-in-law is a practicing Jew and his daughter converted to Judaism. I never believed for a second that Mr. Trump was an anti-Semite as so many from her party (D) have falsely accused him for the last 8 years.
Never knew her. She is sweet. We all feel you. I had to feel the sadness that my grandmother was right. I dismissed her way back
