Oscar-nominated actress Debra Winger sounded off about having a “debt to pay” for her Jewish upbringing as she joined last week’s Trump Tower protest over the arrest of anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil.
“I was brought up Jewish, I was brought up with a lot of things that were untrue,” said Winger, 69, to Al Jazeera outside President Trump’s Midtown East tower Thursday, when nearly 100 demonstrators were arrested in the protest in defense of the Columbia University activist.
“I was brought up with a lot of things that weren’t true, I had to unlearn them, and it’s taken me a lot of years,” said Winger — whose performances in the flicks “Terms of Endearment” and “Shadowlands” earned her best-actress nominations in the 1980s and ’90s. She explained for example that she didn’t agree with an idea she was raised on — that Israel is the Jewish homeland.

It bears repeating: Israel is the best country for Palestinians in the entire Middle East. A Palestinian has more rights in Israel than Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, et al. Hamas is not helping Palestinian people, it's hurting them. Pro-Palestinian is pro-Israel.
Because liberals want self-salvation, they substitute works for simple obedience. That is why they try to outJudaize the Jews and outChristisn the Christians. They want to prove to themselves that they don’t need God to be good.
They aren’t liberals, there are no liberals. A liberal is not a leftist.
Never heard of him/her/it or whatever pronouns are appropriate.
Should have left you in that paper bag factory.
Debra Wingnut...
Seems I read that she was served in the Israeli army?
Yep -https://www.encyclopedia.com/religion/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/winger-debra
Is she trying to remind people that she’s still alive?
And in so doing, she is bending over backwards to prove that she is liberal.
So she wants us all to know she’s still here, and that she is liberal. Got it.
Please go back to doing urban cowboy dancing.
Ive said it once and I will say it again, there is NOTHING worse than a self hating Jew..if the Holocaust were going on right now these same Jews would be telling the Nazi’s “Hey the Jews are right over there you can’t miss em”
Or in the Bear Flag.
You’re going to have to accept that leftists own the word liberal now. I get it as to why you continue to make the differentiation between liberal and leftists, but 99% of people conflate leftistism with liberal. People vote liberal, but end up giving support to leftists in the process. The refusal to accept the conflation is part of the reason why lefts retain power in America.
She was actually a pretty big actress YEARS ago now she is just another leftist idiot taking up space.
A few years ago, it was revealed that the person who turned in Anne Frank's family was Jewish. I haven't researched it thoroughly, but it seems like they defended this guy, maybe claiming he turned in that family to save others?
Also, was the family that harbored the Franks also killed? I'm assuming Nazis considered that a terrible crime.
Were you brought up that anyone that was not Jewish was a dog and should be slashed at the throat?
Were you brought up that any woman that was not Jewish was yours to rape?
Were you brought up that anyone not Jewish was a second class citizen that was to be taxed for not being Jewish?
If the answers to those questions is no, you are way ahead of the person for whom you are protesting.
I know who she is. I was just granting her the respect she deserves.
As Orwell, and others, have pointed out, they use language to control our mind. Don't let them control your mind.
(In some country the conservatives are called liberals.)
We’re fortunate to have them here but they should never be President. Sorry.
