Brigitte Gabriel: The Peaceful Majority MUST Fight To Preserve Freedom (REPLAY) · Worldview Matters With David Fiorazo

0:00
Welcome to World View Matters, discussing controversial issues, discerning current events,
0:10
defending biblical Christianity.
0:13
No topic, off limits.
0:16
And now, here's your host, David Firazzo.
0:20
God bless you, friends, family.
0:22
Thank you so much for watching, listening, and sharing the podcast.
0:25
Today's guest says, God doesn't change the world with lightning in the sky.
0:31
He changes things through his people.
0:34
And she also said that Christians getting educated and informed is great, but the most important
0:40
thing we need to do is engage.
0:43
So today, we're blessed to have Brigitte Gabriel, National Security Analyst, New York Times
0:48
Best Selling Author, and founder and chairman of Act for America.org.
0:53
Her latest bestseller is called Rise in Defense of Judeo-Christian Values and Freedom.
1:01
And we can't wait to get to her and hear her story and what's going on with Act for
1:05
America.
1:06
Welcome, Brigitte.
1:07
I thank you, David.
1:08
I'm delighted to be with you.
1:10
Oh, my goodness.
1:11
I'm just so thankful that we're able to connect with you today.
1:14
And we met.
1:15
Actually, we didn't meet, but we were a part of a Zoom call or Zoom group Liberty Pastors,
1:21
which I've been affiliated with since 2020.
1:24
You were kind enough to come and just pump up all the pastors there and that Zoom call.
1:28
It was just a phenomenal presentation.
1:30
Some of that, what you're going to share today.
1:32
But let's go back before we go to, by the way, friends, the website act for America.org.
1:37
Act for America.org.
1:40
So, Brigitte, let's take us back to when you were 10 years old.
1:45
You're living in Southern Lebanon and militant Muslims came in and declared G-Hod.
1:51
And there was a Christian settlement or community there.
1:54
Tell us about that and then how that brought you to America.
1:57
Actually, David, most people don't realize that Lebanon used to be the only majority Christian
2:03
country in the Middle East.
2:05
We were over 80 percent Christians in the country when we got our independence from France
2:10
in the early 40s.
2:12
Yes, Christian, it's a Christian nation.
2:16
And Lebanon was the only non-Muslim state in the Middle East other than the state of Israel,
2:21
which is the Jewish nation.
2:23
The mistake that we did is we did not do what the Jewish nation did, where they called
2:28
all the Jews from all over the world.
2:30
Now you have a home you can come to come to the state of Israel.
2:34
What the Christians in Lebanon did, because we were open-minded and fair and tolerant and
2:38
all that good stuff.
2:40
He said, we're going to be so fair in the way we divide the government.
2:43
So we're going to have, we're going to divide it according to religion, religious representation
2:48
of the country.
2:49
So the Prime Minister had to be in Sunni, the President had to be a Maronite Christian.
2:55
And that's how we divided the rest of the government.
2:57
Actually, we are a republic exactly like the United States of America.
3:02
But what happened was we imported people into our country who did not share our values.
3:09
We imported Palestinian refugees who came to the country, while most of the Arabic
3:14
world did not want to have anything to do with them or want them.
3:17
Lebanon was the only country in the Middle East to accept the third wave of Palestinian refugees.
3:24
Once they came into the country, they put their heads together with the Muslims in the
3:28
country and declared war on the Christians.
3:31
They wanted to create a base from which to fight Israel, kill the Jews and throw them
3:36
into the sea, something they tried to do in Jordan failed because of the dictatorship
3:42
of the king.
3:43
But they were able to do that on Lebanon using our democracy to topple our democracy.
3:49
And that's when my life changed.
3:51
So my 9-11 happened to me in 1975 when this radical Islamic Palestinian terrorist blew
4:00
up my home, bringing it down under, burying me under the rubble wounded.
4:06
I ended up two and a half months in a hospital.
4:10
And later when I came back home, my home was no longer the home I left.
4:15
I ended up living in a bump shelter underground in an 8x10 room without electricity, without
4:23
water and very little food.
4:26
And that's where I lived for the next seven years of my life from the age of 10 till the
4:32
age of 17 robbed of my youth.
4:35
Oh my goodness.
4:37
So how did you make it to America then what got you here?
4:40
I ended up moving to Israel to Jerusalem and I became news anchor for world news in the
4:45
Middle East covering world events.
4:48
And that's where I met my American worker respondent, fallen love, married him.
4:54
I came to America by marriage in 1989 and I thought I left all the crazies behind.
5:00
I thought I'm going to start my American life.
5:02
I'm going to work so hard I want to obtain the American dream.
5:07
And I thought, okay, you know, the hard times are over.
5:10
The war is over.
5:11
The crazies are over.
5:13
Now I'm in America.
5:15
9-11, 2001 changed all that for me.
5:19
9-11, 2001 made me realize that the crazies that I left behind are now in the United States.
5:28
And 9-11 was a defining moment for America really.
5:33
Actually, it was a defining moment for the whole world, but specifically for America.
5:38
It changed the way we travel.
5:41
It changed the way we banked.
5:42
It doesn't matter where you are in the world.
5:44
I mean, our travel changed worldwide.
5:47
Our banking system changed worldwide.
5:50
The way we banked, the way we financed, the way we listened to information changed.
5:55
For 9-11, we all did the same thing.
5:58
If you were close to a television TV set, you were glued in front of that TV.
6:05
You couldn't get enough news because we couldn't believe that someone in the 21st century,
6:11
on the 20th century, would hate us so much that they would hijack airliners and fly them
6:18
into skyscrapers with the sole intention of killing massive number of people.
6:27
We couldn't believe that such barbarism could exist, but it did, and it changed our lives.
6:32
And that's what started me on my journey as an activist to make a difference in the United
6:38
States and the world.
6:40
Thank you.
6:41
And by the way, friends, you can hear more of Brigitte Story or read about it in her book
6:44
because they hate a survivor of Islamic terror warns America.
6:49
So that leads me to my next question.
6:52
You mentioned Lebanon.
6:54
You mentioned 9-11.
6:56
It's clear Brigitte Gabriel.
6:57
We haven't learned our lesson here.
7:00
We have got open borders and terrorists are coming across particularly the southern border.
7:05
And I know you have a lot of thoughts on that.
7:07
So please share whatever you'd like to about that because we're just letting this happen.
7:12
And it's like a ticking time bomb, no?
7:15
We have not learned our lesson in 22 years.
7:18
You know, the 9-11 Commission report, you know, after 9-11, our intelligence agency has
7:23
got together and they put the report as to how could we miss the signs?
7:27
How could something like this happen?
7:29
And the 9-11 Commission report said, quote, we lacked imagination.
7:37
It's not that we did not know what our enemies want to do to us.
7:40
It's not that we did not know how much they hated us.
7:43
After all, we've never been faced with an enemy who tells us exactly how much they hate
7:48
us, why they hate us, what they want to do to us.
7:52
They not only tell us this stuff.
7:53
They should press releases about it.
7:56
They publish it on their website.
7:57
They send the recording to LG Zero TV to air worldwide in Arabic and in English on all
8:04
media worldwide telling us exactly what they want to do to us.
8:09
We lacked imagination.
8:11
So 9-11 happened and all of a sudden we said, oh, my goodness, we've got to make sure
8:16
we protect ourselves.
8:17
Never again, we're never going to let this happen, we're going to create the Department
8:21
of Homeland Security.
8:22
We're all going to network our intelligence agency.
8:25
So we can make sure this doesn't happen again.
8:28
And today when you watch the news and you watch, for example, the demonstrations in
8:34
the streets after October 7th, you know, after what happened in Israel.
8:38
You watch the demonstrations in the streets worldwide, it doesn't matter what country,
8:42
whether it's in Australia, Canada, England, France, America, it doesn't matter.
8:47
But let's talk about here in the United States.
8:50
When you have people waving the flag of Hamas and of Hosebullah terrorist organizations
8:56
while burning the American flag in our cities, calling for the destruction of America,
9:03
saying how they stand with the terrorists against America, even waving ISIS flags.
9:10
We can no longer say we lack imagination.
9:13
It is a matter of time.
9:16
Look what just happened with the terrorists that we arrested in Natus, Pakistan, is Afghanistan
9:23
or one of those Balkan countries where all of them entered the United States through
9:29
the Mexican border.
9:30
We knew about them.
9:32
We supposedly vetted them when they came through the country.
9:36
And obviously we don't have enough wedding process, which is the joke.
9:39
It's a lie to the American people so they can feel safe.
9:43
And that's how you end up with foiling a terrorist attack in multiple states, then God, they
9:49
were able to get to them before they were able to carry their terrorist attack.
9:54
So in our recent Zoom meeting with Liberty Pastors, you reminded us of something that I've
10:01
been talking about that a lot of maybe prophecy watchers have been and informed Christian
10:06
conservatives.
10:08
Israel is known as the little Satan.
10:11
America is known as the Great Satan.
10:14
They're coming after the Saturday worshippers first and then the Sunday worshippers.
10:17
And then over on your website, BrigitteGabriel.com, you have a great quote and I'll let you elaborate.
10:23
It says 2% of the passionate will always rule 98% of the indifferent.
10:33
That's sobering.
10:34
It's powerful and I'd love for you to just share more about that.
10:39
The passionate will always rule.
10:41
It doesn't take many to change the world.
10:44
It takes a passionate few who stand on their principles, who don't budge and who don't
10:50
move.
10:51
But I mean by that quote and I'm going to repeat something that I used an eclipse that
10:56
went around the world and was watched by over 50 million people.
10:59
So you probably have seen this clip before.
11:02
I was speaking on a panel at the Heritage Foundation in the United States.
11:05
I was on the panel of the Benghazi Accountability Committee and a Muslim posing as a student.
11:13
She was not a student.
11:14
She was an attorney posing as a student.
11:17
That's the question.
11:18
Well, you are here talking about, you know, branding with a broad brush, talking about
11:21
Islam.
11:22
Well, what about the moderate Muslims?
11:24
You know, you're not talking about them.
11:26
And I said to her, I said, first of all, we're not talking about all Muslims.
11:29
No, we didn't even mention the word Islam.
11:31
We were talking about what happened in Benghazi and how can our government get to the bottom
11:37
of this and hold whoever allowed it to happen accountable.
11:39
And I said, you brought it up.
11:41
And I said, but let's look at the lessons of history.
11:44
Throughout history, people refused to learn the lessons of history.
11:49
When you look at Nazi Germany, for example, not all Nazis were radical.
11:55
Most of German people were peaceful people.
11:57
But the majority, the radicals were only a minority.
12:02
But it took the minority radicals to bring the world into war, killing almost 60 million
12:08
people, 14 million people killed in concentration camps, only 6 million were Jews.
12:14
The peaceful majority were irrelevant.
12:17
When you look at communist China, most Chinese were peaceful.
12:21
Yet communist China was able to kill 70 million people.
12:25
The peaceful majority were irrelevant.
12:27
When you look at Russia, most Russians were peaceful.
12:30
Yet Russia was able to kill 20 million people.
12:33
The peaceful majority were irrelevant.
12:36
When you look at Japan, most Japanese were peaceful prior to World War II.
12:40
Yet Japan was able to butcher 12 million people in Southeast Asia, mostly killed with
12:46
bayonets and shovels.
12:48
The peaceful majority were irrelevant.
12:51
When you look at the United States, on 9-11, it took only 19 high jackers with plastic
12:58
box cutters to be able to bring down the World Trade Center, bring America to Ishrieking
13:05
Hall, attack the Pentagon and kill 3000 Americans on that day.
13:10
The peaceful majority were irrelevant because on that day, we had 2.9 million Muslims or
13:16
actually 2.3 million Muslims living in the United States on that day.
13:22
The peaceful majority were irrelevant.
13:25
So when I talk about the passionate and why we need to meet passion with passion, at least
13:30
on our side, the passionate are standing on the principles of Western freedom.
13:36
They are standing on the principles of being able to express their opinion and warn people
13:41
using words.
13:42
They're not butchering and killing people and committing terrorism the way the passionate
13:47
on the other side are willing not only to kill, but to die in the process in their version
13:54
of I'm going to become a martyr, I'm going to go to heaven, I'm going to have 70 versions
13:59
and all the goodness that Prophet Muhammad promised them.
14:03
But on our side, we use democracy, we use freedom of expression, we use freedom of
14:08
the press, we use our brains, we use our thoughts and we use our Judea Christian values
14:14
to drive a point that while we can criticize our enemy, we still love them, we still pray
14:20
for them, we do not wish ill or murder or killing on any human being because we are all
14:26
created equal in the eyes of God, but we how through the exposure, using words that we
14:32
would be able to change the minds of those misguided people filled with hatred so they can
14:38
stop their hatred and start thinking logically about how we can solve the problem talking
14:43
to each other instead of committing terrorist attacks against each other.
14:49
Friends, check out the website act for America.org, we've got to take a brief pause with
14:52
Brigitte Gabriel.
14:53
You know, we've talked about over 100,000 people in northern Israel that have been displaced,
14:58
Hamas still has hostages.
15:00
The Biden administration seems to be more anti-Israel by the day.
15:04
When we come back from our break, we're going to ask Brigitte Gabriel if she thinks it's
15:08
too late to overcome the ignorance and the apathy of way too many people in America when it
15:14
comes to Israel and world history, we'll write back on World View Matters.
15:20

16:06
We're thankful for our sponsors, Harbinger's Daily, Patriot Mobile, Freedom Project Academy,
16:12

16:16

16:18
Back to Brigitte Gabriel, the question I asked right before the break, Brigitte, do you
16:23
think it's too late to overcome the ignorance and apathy in America when it comes to Israel
16:29
and world history?
16:30
Then we'll talk about what's happening in Israel.
16:33
Well, it's never too late for anything.
16:36
It's never too late to educate.
16:37
It's never too late to mobilize.
16:39
But what we need to realize is that while we are educating, the enemy is mobilizing.
16:45
Because we, on the right, send professors to college to give lectures and we have information
16:49
shows and we want to teach people, the left is organizing how we mobilize, organizing
16:56
small groups, they are organizing people, they are training them how to do political activism,
17:01
they are training them how to recruit, how to become engaged, how to sign petition,
17:05
how to impact policy, how to press your members of Congress.
17:09
So while we are talking and educating and feeling good about ourselves, they are mobilizing,
17:13
they are passing bills, they are organizing groups, they are getting the vote.
17:17
And we are talking, talking, talking, hoping to educate.
17:20
But it's very different way of thinking between the right and the left.
17:24
So what do we do?
17:25
This is exactly why we, and I mean by we act for America, my organization, started an organization
17:32
called Act for America and I encourage everybody to go check us out right now, actforamerica.org.
17:39
And we named the organization Act for America.
17:43
Now think about America, now hope for America, now wish for America, now think about America,
17:49
now pray for America, but act for America because education is important.
17:56
But education without action is not sufficient.
18:00
Education must be coupled with action.
18:02
So we monitor bills coming down for a vote.
18:04
We send you email alerts about them, like the act now campaigns you were showing going
18:08
sliding across the screen, you know, the stand with Israel, the exit and defund the WHO,
18:14
the multiple campaigns, we monitor bills at the federal level and at the state level.
18:19
And we send you an action alert about this bill, hey, bill number HR, 445, whatever the
18:25
bill happens to be is coming down for a vote.
18:28
We need you to call your electric officials, enter your information, you enter your information.
18:33
We give you the names and pictures of all your electric officials.
18:37
We say these are your electric officials, you want to email them?
18:40
You click confirm, email pops up, we literally write the email for you, you know, I'm emailing
18:45
you about bill number HR, 4455, I want you to vote yes on this bill, you click confirm
18:53
and it goes to all your electric officials, then a petition pops up with one click confirm,
18:58
you sign it, then social media post pop up for Facebook, for Twitter, with one click it
19:03
post on your social media and then we give you their phone number and the written script
19:08
so you can literally read the script while you are with them on the phone so you can
19:14
sound knowledgeable about whatever issue you're calling about.
19:17
We make it so easy, David, for everybody to take action, even if they have a full time
19:23
job, they can take action, grab their phone, look, we all sit with our phone next to us,
19:28
I'm giving a live interview and here's my phone, right next to me, everybody has their
19:34
people go to the bathroom, they take their phone with them on a break, on a two minute
19:37
break, they check Facebook, so everybody can take action, we make it so easy, we need
19:43
you to contact your electric official, your voice, your phone call or your email represent
19:49
1,000 voters, this is how electric officials tally every email and phone call, your voice
19:56
represents 1,000 people, if 40 to 50 people call our email, that represents 40 to 50,000
20:03
voters on election day, that can make or break an election, that's why they listen to
20:08
you, you need to be engaged, go to actraamerica.org, right now sign up to take action, receive
20:14
our emails and action alerts, they're free, you don't have to pay anything to take action,
20:19
we want to make sure that everybody can take action on our action alerts and I'm proud
20:23
to tell you, David, that we have been able to pass 250 bills on the federal level and
20:29
the state level to protect the country, wow, I thank you for laying that out and you
20:33
did a lot of the footwork for us, you and the people working at actraamerica.org because
20:38
people are strapped for time and if they don't know what to do or how to word something,
20:43
please guys go to actraamerica.org and you made a very important point, the left knows
20:47
how to take action, even if they're ignorant, sometimes they only know their talking points,
20:51
listen to what they're saying on college campuses, they think from the river to the sea,
20:55
they think it's the Mississippi River, you know, some of them, they're just so ignorant
20:58
about what's going on in Israel and world history and they're taking action, they're
21:01
out there protesting and we're getting informed, going to conferences, being educated and
21:05
that's important, but Brigida, love your passion, your energy and your information that
21:09
you guys share, so let's go over to Israel now, just looking at the headlines, go over
21:13
to the Jerusalem post and other places, you shared a little bit on that Zoom call that
21:17
we were in about what's happening, the northern part of Israel, which we don't hear a lot
21:22
about, especially on the news in the West here, so share whatever you like as we transition
21:27
here, talk about Israel and the importance of America supporting Israel.
21:30
Well, we need to pray for Israel because a war between Israel and Lebanon is imminent.
21:37
Nathaniahu yesterday gave an address and he said that the war is imminent, it's not
21:41
an if, it's not, maybe it's not we're thinking about it, they are 100% going into Lebanon.
21:47
And the reason why Gens resigned from the Nathaniahu government is because the United States
21:53
has been putting pressure on Gens, they want to break up the Nathaniahu government because
21:57
America does not want Israel to go into Lebanon in the next three months this summer before
22:02
the American election because Biden and the Democrats do not want to lose the Islamic
22:08
vote.
22:09
That's right.
22:10
And so that's why they're trying to mandal in Israeli election.
22:13
About two months ago, despite the Gens came to visit the United States, met with President
22:20
Kamala Harris despite the resistant and without the approval of the government of Israel and
22:25
Benjamin Nathaniahu, he came in here.
22:28
That's why they after Schumer got on TV and that's when he's talked about that Nathaniahu
22:32
needs to resign, you know, that we do not want to go to war.
22:36
And here we are, Gens resigned the day before, Blink and went to Israel in this last trip
22:44
because they want to split the Israeli government, they want to make sure they do everything
22:48
they can to sabotage the Nathaniahu government and render it ineffective at least between
22:54
now and the American election.
22:56
So Biden can win few votes and Michigan.
23:00
What Israel needs to do, Israel needs to finish the job.
23:03
There are now 100,000 displaced Israelis who left their homes for the last eight months
23:10
they have been displaced.
23:12
They cannot go back to their homes as long as Khosmullah has raining bombs on northern
23:16
Israel.
23:17
And that's why Israel has to finish the job.
23:19
It's going to be a very difficult summer for Israel.
23:22
Israel is going to be fighting two front wars and that's why we need to keep Israel in
23:26
our prayers.
23:27
Yes.
23:28
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and, you know, it really is amazing, Brigitte.
23:31
Some people can actually think, well, you know, think of Hamas as the victim or Israel
23:36
as the oppressor.
23:38
It really is astounding the level of blinders that I think it's spiritual delusion because
23:44
they're not believing their eyes.
23:45
If you look even at a map over there, Israel is like this little speck and this coalition
23:49
of hostile Muslim militant nations are around them and people are saying Israel is the bully
23:54
when they got attacked.
23:56
So the audacity of the American government to say you, we need to have peace.
24:00
You need to, you know, cease fire.
24:03
Just your final thoughts in the last couple of minutes here because I get really frustrated
24:07
about this and what our own administration is doing.
24:10
I'm equally frustrated and look, those of us who follow this news daily and are very
24:15
close to it, you know, realize cease fire with who, I mean with who, you know, Biden wanted
24:21
to meddle with Israel's government and there for so much, they actually wrote the cease
24:27
fire without running it by Israel, Israel didn't know all the changes that the Egyptians
24:31
and the Americans did to the cease fire supposedly agreements because there's no way Israel
24:37
would have agreed to the cease fire that America presented.
24:40
And now all of a sudden we didn't hear anything, anything, anything from Hamas and all of
24:44
a sudden Hamas, now they have their new demands on the cease fire.
24:47
Look, Hamas is committed to wiping Israel off the map.
24:51
It is in their charter.
24:53
They hate the Jews every last breathing Jewish soul alive.
24:59
They want to kill the Jews.
25:01
It doesn't matter what Hamas signs, Hamas is going to use whatever hudna, whatever peace
25:06
process, whatever cease fire that they sign in order to buy themselves more time just
25:11
enough to stay alive and rebuild so they can attack Israel and do an October 7th all over
25:16
again.
25:17
And if they can do it every single day of the week, another October 7th and different
25:21
parts of Israel, they will do that.
25:24
Israel is not negotiating with the party in good faith because Hamas does not represent
25:31
all the Palestinians and Israel now, the minute they sign a cease fire, Hamas is going
25:36
to use it to strengthen themselves and basically to buy themselves time to stay alive knowing
25:41
that the longer this goes, the world opening public opinion is going to turn against Israel
25:47
even more, not they need the reason to, they already hate Israel, you know, worldwide
25:51
we see public opinion against Israel, but that's what Hamas is counting on and that's
25:56
why the cease fire is going nowhere.
25:59
And I think that they're also counting on the continued ignorance of a lot of people
26:02
around the world, including American universities and what's happening on college campuses,
26:07
which I'll tell you, Brigitte, that was an eye opener for me.
26:10
I knew they were radicalized, I knew they went through K through 12 and then they went
26:14
into the college university and so some of it wasn't surprising, but the level of ignorance
26:20
that they're willing to jump on board and be marched for Palestine, we're in very interesting
26:25
times and we've got to take action and that's why I want to send people to act for America.org.
26:33
Please go there friends, you can get informed and you can take action at the same time and
26:37
support what the work that Brigitte does.
26:39
I really appreciate all that you've done your voice and I do remember that clip.
26:44
It went viral and I was thinking, I mean, a lot of us were shouting, yes, yes, I mean,
26:49
you just called her out and it was just wonderful.
26:52
If more people would just stand up like that in an informed way, man, we need more people
26:57
that speak the way you do and I love your passion, Brigitte, thank you for your time.
27:02
We appreciate it.
27:03
God bless you, sister.
27:04
Thank you.
27:05
God bless you.
27:06
Thank you for having me with you.
27:07
Oh, you're most welcome and friends, it's because of you that we're able to have great
27:11
guests on the show.
27:12
And again, we finished our fundraiser.
27:14
We're thankful for all the donations that have come in and we just praise God that he's
27:17
driving this thing and you are helping by your support and your prayers.
27:22
So thank you.
27:23
And when we do bring a guest on that's got a book out that's got a website with Scott
27:27
Resources, we just encourage you to go there.
27:30
We try to put their links in every show description, either on audio platforms or on YouTube,
27:36
rumble, wherever they are, Facebook, but thank you guys again so much.
27:39
God bless you.
27:40
Always keep speaking the truth about things that matter.
