"Arabs". Not "Muslims", "Arabs". Yet surely Gabriel
really means -- as she says later -- "Militant Islamic
fundamentalist(s)"? Perhaps she thinks there's no
difference. That's worrying.
I mentioned what she said about 1975. I'll quote it:
GB>When the Moslems and Palestinians declared Jihad on
GB> the Christians in 1975 we didn't even know what
GB>that word meant. We had taken them into our
country, GB>allowed them to study side by side with
us, in our GB>schools and GB>universities. We gave
them jobs, GB>shared with them our way of life.
note "taken them into our country". Lebanon was not,
was it, a country that belonged to the Maronite
Christians? (It wasn't.)
The following is from aljazeerah. It accords with
other accounts I've seen:
>Lebanese Civil War:
> In Dec. 1975, a group of Falangists (Phalangists)
> killed about 200 Muslims in a reprisal attack for
the
> deaths of four of their own men. That is generally
> seen as the event that sparked the civil war.

Brigette Gabriel says in her interview:
"As one who knows what's in the hearts and minds of
Arabs, let me
[Brigette Gabriel] 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.
No Jews can exist free and unencumbered in the Middle
East. "What
an outrage. How dare the Jews come back and live in
our midst,
make the desert blossom and create a country more
advanced than
any other in the Middle East. And they don't even have
any oil?"
Thank you, Judith, for the link to the interview with
Brigette
Gabriel [see the link below to the full interview] .
It clarifies
and strengthens the case against Hezbollah, but more
than that it
made me break into tears. Israel, like the Christians
who lived
in Lebanon, are infidels. That is the reason they have
been
targeted to be extinguished. Not because they've
stolen the land
from the Arabs.
Over and over again, Omar repeats the same message:
"We are supposed to buy the claim," Omar says, "that
Israel is
just a state like any state, no different from Norway.
Well, it's
not. Normal states do not occupy lands that do not
belong to
them. Normal states do not expel populations that
don't belong to
the right ethnic -religious groop and prevent them
from returning
indefinitely. Normal states don't invade other states,
and they
have their borders clearly designated."
Over and over again it's been said (by me, by
Lawrence, by
Mike...) that Israel was the result of a two-state
solution: part
to Palestinians, part to Jews. The Arab world rejected
that idea
from the first second and declared war against little
Israel.
Brigette Gabriel's interview [below] points to the
fact that
Arabs have behaved identically with Christians in
Lebanon. Why?
They're not Arabs. That's why. Period.
