Brigitte Gabriel's Speech 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."
