Brigette Gabriel is such a fake that even other Muslim haters hate her.

Hanan Tudor alias Brigitte Gabriel pretentiously declares on

POSTED ON NOVEMBER 20 2012 12:51 AM

Hanan Tudor alias Brigitte Gabriel pretentiously declares on the ACT site, “I founded this organization to give Americans their voice back…”

Brigitte! Americans never lost their “voice,” unless the “voice” you want to give back is the Jim Crow voice that unleashed the dogs and water hoses on Southern blacks fighting for civil rights and against White racism because that is the historical parallel which fits into your rhetoric.

ACT is an organization shot through and through with Christian fundamentalists. That is why at many of their events one will see a Christian missionary preaching the Gospel while other ACT custodians will be passing out anti-Islam literature. In this video a representative for a Florida Chapter of ACT for America spews his hate filled beliefs about Islam. He brags about using the Quran as toilet paper and urinating in Muslim ablution sinks. The ACT member, who put up this video on YouTube, later removed it. Obviously realizing that it hurts their credibility, but luckily someone else downloaded it.

Brigitte, who immigrated to the United States from Lebanon in the 1980s, has painted the problem of Islamic terrorism as one having to do with all Muslims. She has said that “Every practicing Muslim is a radical Muslim.”

Brigitte Gabriel was born in the Marjayoun District in Lebanon to a Christian family.

According to Gabriel, during the Lebanese Civil War, militants launched an assault on a Lebanese military base near her family’s house and bombed her home. Gabriel reports that 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, her mother was seriously injured and was taken to an Israeli hospital where 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 state 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 say that her family, like that of others in the village, may have spent a few nights in their shelter or basement at times, but that they otherwise lived relatively normally.

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.

When Gabriel was invited to speak as part of a lecture series organized by Duke University ‘s Jewish community in October 2004, many in attendance were angered by her referring to Arabs as “barbarians.” The Freeman Centre for Jewish Life at Duke University later apologized for her comments. Following her speech at women’s campaign event for the Jewish Federation of Ottawa (JFO) in November 2008, many in attendance registered their protests, leading Mitchell Bellman, president and CEO of the JFO, to write a letter in which he acknowledged that Gabriel made, “unacceptable gross generalizations of Arabs and Muslims,” distancing his organization from her views.

Commenting on Brigitte Gabriel, eminent blogger Debbie Schlussel said: “You don’t need phonies like Hanan Tudor (who goes by the porn name, “Brigitte Gabriel,” she isn’t a radical or a Muslim though, but, just a fraud, a complete ignoramus, and a liar and who helped raise money for an organization that praised Muslim death, rape, and torture threats on my life and my family members’ lives).

“The road to preserving the American way of life is not led by this woman with an Arabic accent who tells you what you want to hear to sell books someone else wrote for her.”

Debbie further said “In speaking to a Black Detroit-area church, she gushingly praised Barack Obama and said how glad she is that he’s President. On FOX News’ “O’Reilly Factor,” she praised Obama’s Muslim outreach (she repeated this on “Real Time” on HBO) and said he’s “doing a better job than Bush” did at it. This was just after Obama pandered in several speeches and comments to Muslims in Turkey and called America a “Muslim nation.” Then, Tudor/Gabriel” sent a mass e-mail featuring an article someone ghostwrote for her (as they did her books), denouncing Obama on Islamic outreach. (Yup, this woman isn’t just two-faced, she’s got several of them.) But she’s a fraud, and, because she’s not a very good fraud, she slips up.”

So, here is the conclusive information about Lebanese born Hanan Tudor aka Brigitte Gabriel, who is not only a damn liar but also a fraud. She owns an organization named ACT for America and cashing millions of dollars simply by fooling the Americans with her trick. Though she is not an expert on terrorism or Jihad, she continues to appear in major television networks in USA and also gets the help from a person named ‘Steven’, who ghostwrites books for her. At the age of 14, Hanan Tudor fell in love with a Lebanese Muslim boy named Fikri. Once she was caught by her schoolmates at the backyard, while she was kissing her Muslim boyfriend. On another day, she was caught while having sex with her boyfriend in an abandoned house on way to her home. Later the boy, after having multiple sexual relations with Hanan Tudor alias Brigitte Gabriel, declined to marry her, as it was ultimately known to many that, this teen-aged girl was flirting around with boys and even had physical relations with many.

When he parents fled to United States , the smart Hanan Tudor quickly adopted the policy of telling fake stories to people, and was very successful in drawing attention of many, thus finally turning into a multi-millionaire terrorizer.

We definitely need to combat Islamism and Jihadism, while at the same time; we definitely need to be cautious while buying fake stories from questioned people like Brigitte Gabriel. Because, their ultimate agenda is not to see a terror-free United States, but to hope for further rise of Islamic militancy, so that their ‘story telling’ shops will remain profitable for ever.

Brigitte Gabriel's speech she made at duke university

"I'm proud and honored to stand here today as a Lebanese speaking for Israel, the only democracy in the...Middle East. As someone who was raised in an Arabic country, I want to give you a glimpse into the heart of the Arabic world.

I was raised in Lebanon where I was taught that the Jews are evil, Israel is the devil, and the only time we will have peace in the Middle East is when we kill all the Jews and drive them into the sea.

When the Muslims and Palestinians declared jihad on the Christians in 1975, they started massacring the Christians city after city. I ended up living in a bomb shelter underground from age 10 to 17, without electricity, eating grass to live, and crawling under sniper bullets to a spring to get water.

It was Israel who came to help the Christians in Lebanon. My mother was wounded by a Muslim shell and was taken into an Israeli hospital for treatment. When we entered the emergency room, I was shocked at what I saw. There were hundreds of people wounded, Muslims, Palestinians, Lebanese Christians, and Israeli soldiers lying on the floor. The doctors treated everyone according to their injury. They treated my mother before they treated the Israeli soldier lying next to her. They didn't see religion, they didn't see political affiliation; they saw people in need and they helped.

For the first time in my life, I experienced a human quality that I know my culture would not have shown to their enemy. I experienced the values of the Israelis, who were able to love their enemy in their most trying moments. I spent 22 days at that hospital; those days changed my life and the way I believe information, the way I listen to the radio or to television. I realized that I was sold a fabricated lie by my government about the Jews and Israel, which was so far from reality. I knew for a fact that if I were a Jew standing in an Arab hospital, I would be lynched and thrown to the ground as shouts of joy of “Allahu Akbar” (God is great) echoed through the hospital and the surrounding streets.

I became friends with the families of the wounded Israeli soldiers, one in particular, Rina, whose only child was wounded in his eyes. One day, I was visiting with her and the Israeli army band came to play national songs to lift the spirits of the wounded soldiers. As they surrounded his bed playing a song about Jerusalem, Rina and I started crying. I felt out of place and started walking out of the room, and this mother held my hand and pulled me back in without even looking at me. She held me, crying, and said, "It is not your fault." We just stood there, crying, holding each other's hands.

What a contrast between her—a mother looking at her deformed, 19-year-old only child and still able to love me, the enemy—and a Muslim mother who sends her son to blow himself up to smithereens just to kill a few Jews or Christians.

The difference between the Arabic world and Israel is a difference in values and character. It's barbarism versus civilization. It's democracy versus dictatorship. It's goodness versus evil.

Once upon a time, there was a special place in the lowest depths of hell for anyone who would intentionally murder a child. Now, the intentional murder of Israeli children is legitimized as Palestinian "armed struggle." However, once such behavior is legitimized against Israel, it is legitimized everywhere in the world, constrained by nothing more than the subjective belief of people who would wrap themselves in dynamite and nails for the purpose of killing children in the name of god.

Because the Palestinians have been encouraged to believe that murdering innocent Israeli civilians is a legitimate tactic for advancing their cause, the whole world now suffers from a plague of terrorism, from Nairobi to New York, from Moscow to Madrid, from Bali to Beslan.

They blame suicide bombings on the "desperation of occupation." Let me tell you the truth. The first major terror bombing committed by Arabs against the Jewish state occurred 10 weeks before Israel even became independent. On Sunday morning, February 22, 1948, in anticipation of Israel 's independence, a triple truck bomb was detonated by Arab terrorists on Ben Yehuda Street in what was then the Jewish section of Jerusalem. Fifty-four people were killed and hundreds were wounded.

Thus, it is obvious that Arab terrorism is caused not by "desperation" or "occupation", but by the VERY THOUGHT of a Jewish state.

So many times in history in the last 100 years, citizens have stood by and done nothing, allowing evil to prevail. As America stood up against and defeated communism, now it is time to stand up against the terror of religious bigotry and intolerance. It's time for everyone to stand up and support and defend the State of Israel, which is the front line of the war against terrorism.

Thank you."

Since you admire Muslim haters, OriZ, and it's clear that you, you should choose your Muslim haters better.

The dark angel Gabriel

Michael Young , March 11, 2011

In his article for NOW Lebanon this week, Hussein Ibish wrote about the growing legitimization of Islamophobia in the United States. One of the persons he mentioned as spreading the message of hatred is a Lebanese-American, Brigitte Gabriel, who has received considerable publicity lately, not least a profile in the New York Times.

Gabriel heads a non-profit organization called ACT! for America, and her pitch has been a rather simple one: The United States faces an existential threat from Islam and must defend itself. But what makes Gabriel different from others plying the same trade is that she claims to have personal familiarity with the issue, thanks to her experiences in wartime Lebanon during the 1970s and 1980s.

Here is what Gabriel has posted on her website: “I founded ACT! for America because Islamic militants have declared war on America. I know what this means. For years, I witnessed first-hand how brutally jihadists treat non-Muslims.” While Gabriel says that she is not against Islam as such, her critics observe that in her remarks she has often signified precisely the opposite. Gabriel has asserted, for instance, that “n the Muslim world, extreme is mainstream.”

Gabriel is the author of a bestselling book titled Because They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America. In it, she recounts her time in unsettled South Lebanon, making her case that it was really all about Muslim extremists killing Christians. However, anyone with even cursory knowledge of events in the South during the period that Gabriel lived there would see that her template is nonsensical.

Gabriel frequently draws a direct link between what she saw on September 11, 2001, and what she encountered in her hometown of Marjayoun, located on a hill overlooking the Lebanese-Israeli border. “Watching the World Trade Center buildings fall in 2001,” she has written, “I was struck by the same fear that I experienced during the war in Lebanon. As I watched, words instinctively came from my mouth as I spoke to the TV screen: ‘Now they are here.’”

According to a source familiar with Gabriel’s past, she was born Hanan Qahwaji, and spent the first years of the Lebanese civil war, which began in 1975, in Marjayoun. In those days the South was buffeted by two principal dynamics: clashes between Israel and Palestinian militant groups; and antagonism between the Palestinians and inhabitants of southern Lebanon, Christians and Shia Muslims mainly, who resented the heavy price they were paying for a conflict over which they had no control. The Israelis began arming and overseeing those Lebanese opposed to the Palestinians, among them a Christian Lebanese army officer named Saad Haddad, who formed a pro-Israel militia and became the de facto commander of three enclaves established along the border by the Israelis. In 1978, Israeli forces invaded South Lebanon to dislodge the Palestinians. When they withdrew, the enclaves were joined into an Israeli-protected “security belt” under Haddad’s control.

In her book, Gabriel notes, “[F]or my first ten years I led a charmed and privileged life. All that came to an end when a religious war, declared by the Muslims against the Christians, […] tore my country and my life apart. It was a war that the world did not understand.”

Evidently, it was a war that Gabriel did not understand either. South Lebanon was a complicated place, but it was not characterized by anything resembling an Islamic jihad. Gabriel, in her blanket indictment of Muslims, airbrushes out that Shia also suffered from the cycles of attack and retaliation between the Palestinian factions and Israel. As a consequence many became as hostile to the Palestinians as the Christians, later joining the pro-Israel militia. Moreover, the Palestinian organizations were secular nationalist. Although many combatants were Muslim, not all were. And their fight was with Israel; it was not a religious crusade against Christians.

As for Gabriel’s grave comment “they are here” after the 9/11 attacks, that’s pure theater. She knows very well that there was nothing remotely comparable between what happened in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania, and what she confronted in Marjayoun. Her effort to conflate the situations suggests not a flaw in interpretation; it suggests a conscious effort to mislead.

Gabriel’s portrayal of her daily tribulations during the war also appears to be overdone: she lived in a shelter for three years; she was sometimes driven to school in a tank; bombs tended to explode nearby, so that Gabriel had to use schoolbooks to protect herself from shrapnel. Anyone who grew up during the Lebanese conflict probably lived through similar incidents. However, Gabriel has a way of erasing all nuance, implying that her life was a daily serving of Stalingrad. The reality is that everywhere, in Marjayoun as in Beirut, the war was intermittent – with paroxysms of violence punctuating extended lulls. Maybe Gabriel’s accounts are true, or partly so, but she also makes no effort to mitigate them by stressing the normalcy in between.

Why does all this matter? For all its problems, Lebanon is not defined by boundless Muslim loathing for Christians. Sooner or later charlatans are outed, and even Gabriel’s admirers will eventually have to address her fabrications more seriously. But most irking, this particular imposter also happens to be a thief. Gabriel has stolen a part of our collective Lebanese memory in order to forge it and peddle it to unsuspecting audiences, all to advance her career in America.

Surely, it must have occurred to Gabriel that someone from back home might one day notice her con act. Perhaps it did, but she was too conceited to care. Purveyors of bigotry and paranoia eventually burn themselves out. But if that process can be accelerated by putting a match to Gabriel’s mendacity, then all the better.

There was also a lot of propaganda passed around in the 1920's and 1930's in Germany. The purpose of that propaganda was to establish public justification for ethnic cleansing. It was wrong then and it is wrong now and the people who fell for it then are just as stupid as the people who fall for it now.

Oh I completely agree with you there. You just got your sides mixed up, that's all. The Palestinians have learnt alot from Hitler that's for sure. Especially the saying if you repeat a lie eventually people will believe it. All of their tactics(including Iran) are taken from the Germans.

It's not the cold, hard truth, OriZ. That's the point. It's stereotyping that's become highly fashionable and easily consumed by the very gullible.

When you post on a message board, the things you post can be researched. It's a very good idea to do your own research first.

As an Israeli who has lived and worked all over the Middle East, I can assure you that much of what you read is from the fertile imaginations of dedicated Muslim haters. If those are the people you choose to use to make your point, you become identified with them. If you don't mind being known for that, it's ok. If not, think first.

[keysjangle 145]

The saddest part about this conflict is that people aren't informed enough to pick a side (because that's what simple people do) on their own.

Hate Muslims? They're all haji terrorists, bullet sponges for 19 year old American marines? Muslims hate freedom? Jew? Side with Israel.

Anti-establishment? Distrust the American government? Think they're all puppets? Muslim? Side with Palestine.

Best thing I've seen since this all began was some comment on a FB group, Jew News or something, stating that Israel should just nuke Palestine. They've clearly taken a side, but they also don't know a thing about geography. The middle east has been fighting for eons, and they aren't about to stop now. Let them live out their history, it'll just repeat itself till the end of time.

Being a lover of both Muslim and Jews, I haven't taken a side and never honestly could. Innocent people are dying on each side. Mothers are mourning their children on both sides of the border.

Noted with amusement is the decline on the offer of that bulldozer poster and certainly no comment on that 3 out of 4 thing. If you still care about that we can discuss it further. You must be pretty intelligent because the numbers being what they are they don't really support your story so your silence on this is wise to and on the level of Solomon himself.

Oh I completely agree with you there. You just got your sides mixed up, that's all. The Palestinians have learnt alot from Hitler that's for sure. Especially the saying if you repeat a lie eventually people will believe it. All of their tactics(including Iran) are taken from the Germans.

Oh I didn't realize you actually expected me to say -

That no one said he was blind, from that angle, he could not see her, end of story.

As for the 3/4, I know that too, and it matters not, because what counts is where their sympathies lie. I do not expect nor do I want anyone to pick sides.

Just the fact that you were actually looking to get a response to that and posted what you last posted shows that you, unlike me, are not very smart.

The History of US-Israel Relations

Part One

How the “special relationship” was created

by Allison Weir

September 2011

[We feel this information is so important that we are posting it now. However, this is an ongoing project and the below text is an incomplete, uncorrected draft. Please check back later for the final version.]

While many people are led to believe that US support for Israel is driven by the American establishment and U.S. national interests, the facts don’t support this theory. The reality is that for decades U.S. experts opposed Israel and its founding movement. They were simply outmaneuvered and eventually replaced.­

Like many American policies, U.S. Middle East policies are driven by a special interest lobby. However, the Israel Lobby, as it is called today in the U.S.[1], consists of vastly more than what most people envision in the word “lobby.”

As this article will demonstrate, the Israel Lobby is considerably more powerful and pervasive than other lobbies. Components of it, both individuals and groups, have worked underground, secretly and even illegally throughout its history, as documented by scholars and participants.

And even though the movement for Israel has been operating in the U.S. for over a hundred years, most Americans are completely unaware of this movement and its attendant ideology – a measure of its unique influence over public knowledge.

The success of this movement to achieve its goals, partly due to the hidden nature of much of its activity, has been staggering. It has also been at almost unimaginable cost.

It has led to massive tragedy in the Middle East: a hundred-year war of violence and loss; sacred land soaked in sorrow.

In addition, this movement has been profoundly damaging to the United States itself.

As we will see in this two-part examination of the pro-Israel movement, it has targeted virtually every significant sector of American society; worked to involve Americans in tragic, unnecessary, and profoundly costly wars; dominated Congress for decades; increasingly determined which candidates could become serious contenders for the U.S. presidency; and promoted bigotry toward an entire population, religion and culture.

It has promoted policies that have exposed Americans to growing danger, and then exaggerated this danger (while disguising its cause), fueling recent actions that dismember some of our nation’s most fundamental freedoms and cherished principles.

All this for a population that is considerably smaller than New Jersey.[2]

The rest can be found at this link: http://www.ifamericansknew.org/us_ints/history.html

“For the last 30 years, I have witnessed and experienced the severe restraints on any free and balanced discussion of the facts. This reluctance to criticize any policies of the Israeli government is because of the extraordinary lobbying efforts of the American-Israel Political Action Committee and the absence of any significant contrary voices."

“It would be almost politically suicidal for members of Congress to espouse a balanced position between Israel and Palestine, to suggest that Israel comply with international law or to speak in defense of justice or human rights for Palestinians.”

– Jimmy Carter

Israel should ask Egypt to take Gaza and split the West Bank up, Israel gobbles up anywhere with 40%+ Jews and Jordan takes the rest.

Then Israel just ends up bordering two modern Arab nations and Hamas/Hizballah become their problem.

[OriZ 3,157]

Oh please Egypt, take them! Have a Muslim Brotherhood party or something. Funny how we occupied Gaza from Egypt but they never wanted them back. Gee, wonder why that is. Nor did they ever want a state of their own while under Egypt rule. Same goes for the West Bank(which is called the west bank cause it was Jordan's West Bank) and Jordan.

If those territories were Egypt and Jordan...

Then what the hell is Palestine?

And who are these Palestinians everyone speaks of?

Gaza is on the water, right?

Maybe Israel should sell it to Donald Trump. He'd love a country of his own.

Otherwise I wasn't looking for a response. There is no valid response. With this stunning realization you adeptly and with your rapier wit changed the subject and quickly retreated back to (my) intelligence (did you learn to retreat like that back home? curious) which actually has nothing to do with the topic at hand. But....you got a breather from thinking (it really must exhaust you to do that huh). Which makes it funny and nothing more. But lemme think - people who prevent medical and food aid in the event that said aid may also aid the people it is intended for in their own self-defense THEN rant and pass around silly posters about their own right to self defense are not exactly the sharpest crayons in the box either. So maybe you need a special bus to this table.

Looks like the residents of Gaza import more rockets than they do food and medical supplies by the looks of it. I guess rockets are the priority for those people.

btw who would be dumb enough to stand in front of a bulldozer? Bulldozer wins ten out of ten times. Natural selection.
