The actress's public support for Israel during its war with Hamas sparks backlash and criticism.

Actress Debra Messing visited Israeli Defense Forces soldiers in Gaza, expressing her support for Israel and calling the soldiers 'heroes'.
She was accompanied by Hollywood screenwriter Lee Kern and New York Post columnist Douglas Murray, both of whom praised Messing's bravery and support for Israel.
Messing's visit to Gaza and her public support for Israel have sparked backlash and criticism, with some accusing her of using the visit as a 'photo op'.
