SS>Brigette Gabriel's interview [below] points to the fact SS>that Arabs have behaved identically with Christians SS>in Lebanon. Why? They're not Arabs. That's why. Period "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 that GB>word meant. We had taken them into our country, allowed GB>them to study side by side with us, in our schools and GB>universities. We gave them jobs, 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. Judy Evans, Cardiff ----- Original Message ----- From: Stan Spiegel To: lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 4:10 PM Subject: [lit-ideas] Islam's Torture of Lebanon 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.
