This video features Brigitte Gabriel sharing her harrowing experience growing up in Lebanon, once a majority-Christian nation in the Middle East. She describes how demographic shifts, the rise of Islamic extremism, and an influx of Palestinian refugees led to Lebanon’s collapse and the devastating Civil War of the 1970s. Gabriel recounts her family’s seven years living in a bomb shelter amidst constant violence, offering a cautionary tale of what happens when a nation fails to protect its sovereignty.
Gabriel contrasts Lebanon’s decline with Israel’s resilience. While Lebanon fell to chaos, Israel has thrived as a secure, democratic state, successfully defending its sovereignty and values despite relentless threats. She urges others to see Israel as a model for confronting radical ideologies and preserving national identity.
Her experiences inspired the founding of Act for America, an organization focused on educating and mobilizing Americans against radical Islamic extremism. Gabriel warns of the Muslim Brotherhood’s alleged plans to infiltrate the West and calls for vigilance. The video concludes by encouraging viewers to join Act for America, support Israel as a critical ally, and take action to safeguard freedom and security.
