Brigitte Gabriel

Brigitte Gabriel is a Christian Lebanese American journalist and author. She is the founder of the American Congress For Truth, a think tank dedicated to educating the public about "Radical Islam".

Early life in Lebanon

Brigitte Gabriel was born in 1965 in Lebanon to a Maronite Christian family.

During the 1975 civil war in Lebanon Gabriel's house was bombed and she was severely injured spending 2 1/2 months in the hospital recovering. She and her parents were forced to live in a 8x10 bomb shelter underground for 7 years.

In 1978, when she was 13 a man warned her family that Islamic fighters were coming and the lives of Christians were threatened. Gabrielle says on that day she dressed in burial clothes in preparation.

Gabriel has stated that her life was saved that night due to an Israeli invasion, as it was the beginning of its push into Lebanon in Operation Litani. Later, she says her mother became ill and was taken to an Israeli hospital where Brigitte says she noted the "humanity" of the Israelis. She decided that the Israelis weren't the barbarians, contrary to how the media had portrayed them to be. She decided then to immigrate to Israel.

Career

Brigitte Gabriel was a news anchor for "World News," an evening news program that was broadcast weeknights throughout Israel, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Cyprus and Lebanon. She is a former production coordinator for ARD (German Television) in South Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank, and a former satellite video distribution coordinator for METV/WTN Worldwide Television News studios in London, the TV station of the South Lebanese Army, a Christian militia proxy to the Israeli army.

She immigrated to the United States in 1985 where she founded an entertainment company she became a American citizen.

Gabriel founded the ACT, "American Congress For Truth," in late 2001. She has appeared on news and information TV shows, talk radio and made numerous public speaking engagements. She speaks four languages: Arabic, French, English and Hebrew.

She is featured in the documentary Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West.

She was interviewed on CNN where she denounced Hezbollah and sided with Israel in the war, thanking Israel for their actions in Lebanon. The day after the interview, she received a phone call notifying her that her Lebanese citizenship had been revoked.

Bibliography

Quotes

"As one who knows what's in the hearts and minds of Arabs, let me repeat what seems to be the hardest thing for world opinion to accept: The Arabs have no intention of having peace with the Jews period, exclamation point, end of discussion." -- Interview with FrontPage Magazine, August 11, 2005

They would prefer Democrats over Republicans because "the Democrats are the allies of the Islamists and those who wish our destruction." - Brigitte Gabriel, "Your World", 10/13/06
