Brigitte Gabriel
| One of the |
| And a dirty dozen more |
Brigitte Gabriel is a Lebanese Christian TV pundit who used to work for Middle East Television when it was owned by the South Lebanon Army, a Christian militia allied with Israel. (The station was later sold to Pat Robertson and relocated to Cyprus after the Israeli occupation troops abandoned South Lebanon.)
Today, she travels the world giving presentations sponsored by Christian Zionist and far-right groups, alleging that Muslims are conspiring to seize power in the world, and promoting an unverified personal biography as a victim of Hezbollah and Palestinian terrorists. Her articles appear on many right-wing American websites, especially Joseph Farah's WorldNetDaily. Although her beliefs bear a striking resemblance to classical anti-Semitism, she is also supported by some Jewish groups, including Aish HaTorah ("Fire of the Torah") which receives funding from the Israeli government. After she shared a stage in Australia with their (then) Prime Minister John Howard, some Jewish groups there distanced themselves from the content of her speech.
