The big lie of Israel’s so-called occupation of the so-called “palestinians” generally requires more than a few soundbites on a talk show to be convincing. But Brigitte Gabriel, better than anyone else, does not back down from anyone who starts to accuse Israel of mistreating Arabs. She knows more than anyone that Israel is the only true force for good, truth, and light in a sea of lies and radical Arab terror. She knows this because her family is alive because of the State of Israel.
To those who continue to blame Israel for the "occupation" in Gaza, the Palestinian people have brought this on themselves over and over again! pic.twitter.com/CIWbR4Rqkx

Brigitte’s family is from Lebanon. Lebanon is a very interesting small country. It is even smaller than Israel, and has been riddled with civil war between Arabs for many decades. She, like millions of others, has been caught up in the middle of it. Her family, like so many other Lebanese Christians, have one hope for a peaceful future – Israel.
In the 1st Lebanon War in 1982, Israel was forced to send tens of thousands of its soldiers into battle in order to allow hundreds of thousands of Israelis to NOT be shelled incessantly from Lebanon. It was very unclear who was in charge in Lebanon. Some pockets had Sunnis, some had Shiites, while the Christians and other sects were often caught in the crossfire. Israel did not just battle all the way to Beirut. It attempted to help set up an alternative government led by a Christian Arab, Bashir Gemayel, a young and energetic leader who would bring Lebanon into an age of modernity and peace with Israel. He was killed shortly after the attempt. The idea was basically stillborn.
Since around that time, the Hizbullah has steadily built up it’s own terror state within a state in Southern Lebanon as Iran’s pincer campaign against Israel with it’s proxies was being built up in order to squeeze Israel out of attacking Iran’s nuclear program. It all worked pretty well for Iran, thanks to the policies of financial appeasement of the Obama and Biden administrations. The money kept flowing, outside of the four years of the Trump administration. Iran was building up and getting very close to the day when it could attack in a coordinated fashion that would bring terrible destruction to the State of Israel – just as they have been promising for decades.
But then on October 7th, Hamas attacked Israel in what seems to be a non-coordinated attack with the Hizbullah or Iran. That ruined the plans of the Ayatollah and created a new reality. The State of Israel became unified nearly overnight due to the stark realization that it had serious existential threats surrounding it and always had. Hundreds of thousands of Israel’s finest soldiers went off to fight the terrorists.
Meanwhile, despite some of the failings of Israel’s secret service in the south, the long-term dragnets that had been in place in Lebanon shocked the entire world with their effectiveness and lethality. The entire leadership of the Hizbullah was either decapitated, killed, or scared to use any electronic devices.
Israel is now fervently fighting a battle in the North while finishing off the last main threats down South. Israel’s new borders will be borders that are based on pure distrust of whatever Arabs in Gaza and Lebanon stay on following the war. If Kamala Harris is elected, Israel will prioritize its own weapons building facilities. If Donald Trump wins, Israel will have four years to decide what strategic moves to make while it has the support that it needs from the American government.
But the threats from Arabs inside and outside Israel will be met with an iron fist from all Israeli leaders. Israel has changed and has thrown out any semblance of a “two-state solution” as a future method for achieving stability in the Middle East. The two state idea was as reasonable as deciding to split Texas into two – a state for Texans and a state for illegal immigrants to deal with America’s immigration problem.
The future for Arabs who want to live in peace in Israel is as disarmed Israeli citizens who accept Israel as their State. Those who want out should be helped out – to Qatar, United Arab Emieates, Bahrain, Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Sweden, or wherever they are allowed in. Israel’s future is bright, as long as they are the ones with the superior fire power.
