Jewish American actress Debra Messing feels the \u201csafest\u201d in Israel despite the country\u2019s ongoing war with Iran and its terrorist proxy network, she revealed at an event in Australia over the weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a moment where I was feeling like the United States was no longer safe, especially in New York,\u201d the native New Yorker, 57, said while speaking to Sky News at a Jewish Communal Appeal (JCA) event in Sydney. \u201cWhen I\u2019m in [Israel], that is home, and regardless of all of the missiles, I feel safest there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cWill & Grace\u201d star also said she feels alienated by the Hollywood community because of her support for Israel after the deadly Hamas attack on Oct. 7, 2023, and has lost many friends over her views.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like my life is everything before Oct. 7 and everything after. I will never be that person again \u2026 I really expected the Hollywood community to join me. My entire career I have been a part of this very liberal, inclusive community,\u201d she explained<\/a>. \u201cAnd no one stepped forward. I remember being so shocked and of course angry \u2026 I felt betrayed and abandoned. I felt maligned, like I was completely alone. And I know that\u2019s not special to me. I lost so many friends, and I know so many Jews who had the same experience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Messing admitted that she needed help from a therapist and was battling depression after receiving so much online hate for speaking out against antisemitism on social media. She said being outspoken about her views has been \u201cthe hardest thing that I\u2019ve ever experienced in my life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI felt incredibly depressed for a period of time,\u201d she added. \u201cI felt enraged. I really needed help from a therapist to help me talk it out and to figure out why this is happening. What I\u2019ve come to is that this is my purpose right now. It has appeared and this is what I\u2019m meant to do. And that\u2019s what I\u2019ve been focused on since Oct. 7.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Messing is also very hopeful for the future of the Jewish community.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs Jews, we need to be louder and prouder because they want to silence us and they want to scare us and they want us to feel shame,\u201d she said. \u201cWhat gives me hope is that we\u2019re still here after 3,000 years, and we\u2019re here to bring light into the dark, and we are living in a darker time, but we are still showing our light, and we will get through this together.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
