Sometimes, a non-Jew may have a perspective on Jew-hatred that even Jews might listen to. Brigitte Gabriel is a Maronite Christian, which means she is the descendant of Phoenicians whose presence in the Middle East pre-dates that of the Arabs. Today, Brigitte owns a successful American media company with national and international clients. She grew up in south Lebanon under Palestinian tyranny. Israeli soldiers and doctors literally saved her life and that of her mother. She does not want to see Israel or America “Islamized” or “Palestinianized” as Lebanon was. She desperately wants to wake Americans up to the danger of this happening.

Brigitte says: “When you refuse to condemn suicide bombers and terrorism and violence, your hands are soiled with the blood of the innocents just as much as any suicide bomber who blows himself up.

I managed to persuade The Freeman Center at Duke to allow Brigitte to speak. The center agreed to do so – but for only five minutes. Brigitte is an exceptionally passionate and powerful speaker. I think that what she has to say deserves more than five minutes. Therefore, as my contribution to more free true speech, I am posting Brigitte’s 45 minute video on my website which she has generously prepared for just this purpose. You may view it at

www.phyllis-chesler.com. My good friend, Jerry Gordon, is assisting me in this effort.

I invite the Duke administration, the Freeman Center, and the Palestinian Solidarity Movement leaders to view it as well. I would welcome a conversation with them all.
