Debra Winger Protests Mahmoud Khalil Detention, Says She Has ‘A Debt to Pay’ After Falsehoods of Jewish Upbringing | Video

As nationwide protests bubble up this weekend over the arrest and detention of pro-Palestinian Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil last week, actress Debra Winger was among the demonstrators in a New York City protest outside Trump Tower on Wednesday.

In a viral interview with Al Jazeera, the three-time Oscar-nominated actress, who was raised Jewish, spoke out against some of the lessons she was taught about her faith and community growing up, specifically as it relates to Israel and Zionism. She said she “had to unlearn” those ideals and now has “a debt to pay.”

“I need to do all that I can,” the actress said at the protest.
