Arabs for Israel - Brigitte Gabriel
Click To View Video
Arab for Israel, Brigitte Gabriel born in Marjayoun, Lebanon goes on CNN to correct and expose Arab propaganda on the media and explains it is Hezbollah who began the fight by throwing missiles to Israeli land and kidnapping Israeli soldier which goes against the law. She says Israel is the guard to stop the Islamic terrorism from killing other non-Muslims and from stopping them to take over land not theirs. As a South Lebanese Christian, Christians are killed and their land is invaded by Muslims who overpopulated them. Nasrallah wants all of the world to be Muslim and kills anyone who is against him.

Brigitte Gabriel (a.k.a. Nour Saman, born October 21, 1964) is the pseudonym, of a Lebanese American journalist, author, and activist. Gabriel says that Islam keeps countries backward, and that it teaches terrorism. In order to promote such views, Gabriel founded the American Congress For Truth and ACT! for America so that citizens may "fearlessly speak out in defense of America, Israel and Western civilization."
She frequently speaks at American conservative-leaning organizations such as The Heritage Foundation, Christians United for Israel, Evangelicals and Jewish groups.
Stephen Lee, the publicist at St. Martins Press for Gabriel’s second book, called her views "extreme". Gabriel said she gives voice to "what many in America are thinking but afraid to say out loud, for fear of being labeled a racist, bigot, Islamophobic, or intolerant."
Early life
Brigitte Gabriel was born in the Marjayoun District in Lebanon to a Christian family.
Gabriel recalls that during the Lebanese Civil War, militants launched an assault on a Lebanese military base near her family's house and bombed her home, and consequently she and her parents were forced to live in an 8'x10' bomb shelter underground for seven years with only a small kerosene heater, no sanitary systems, no electricity or running water and little food. To get water she states that she had to crawl in a ditch alongside a road to a spring in order to evade Muslim snipers.
Later, in 1978, Gabriel says a man warned her family of an impending attack on Christians by militias. She says that her life was saved that night when Israelis invaded Lebanon in Operation Litani. Later, when her mother was seriously injured and was taken to an Israeli hospital, Gabriel noted the humanity of the Israelis in contrast to the propaganda against the Jews she says she saw as a child.
Critics of Gabriel complain that her biographical account is riddled with factual inaccuracies. While she claims that she lived for seven years in a bomb shelter, her former neighbors in Marjayoun recall that her family, like others in the village, might have spent a few nights in their shelter or basement at times, but that they otherwise lived relatively normally. Gabriel, however, says that her home was destroyed by a shell in a militant attack, and that the bomb shelter was all that remained.
Gabriel also used to tell audiences that Hezbollah was the group that terrorized her family for the seven years between 1975 and 1982. She stopped making this claim after people objected, pointing out that Hezbollah was formed after she left Lebanon, as a direct result of the Israeli invasion and occupation of 1982.
