Prominent anti-terrorism activist and Lebanese-American commentator Brigitte Gabriel thanked Israel on behalf of “millions of Lebanese Christians” worldwide for eliminating Hezbollah’s leadership, calling it a long-overdue victory as she urged Lebanese leaders and influencers to seize the moment and “make history” through peace with the Jewish State.
In a now-viral clip featured on her social media, Lebanese-American conservative activist Brigitte Gabriel issued a passionate statement expressing gratitude to Israel for its recent actions against Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terrorist group that has long held significant influence in Lebanon.
According to Gabriel, Israel’s elimination of Hezbollah leadership marks a pivotal moment, not only in combating terrorism but also in providing hope to the Lebanese people for a better future.
In the roughly four-minute video, which has garnered over three million views, Gabriel called Hezbollah “the most lethal terrorist organization in the world today.” She pointed out the group’s role in orchestrating attacks on U.S. interests, including the infamous 1983 bombing of U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, which killed 241 American service members.
She also emphasized how Israel’s actions have achieved what the U.S. had sought to for decades.
“Israel eliminated those who killed our Marines in Lebanon, and committed and organized terrorist attacks on our American interests worldwide,” she said, adding that her remarks are motivated by her conviction and life experience and not by any external influence.
Beyond her gratitude to Israel, Gabriel addressed the Lebanese community directly, sharing that thousands of Lebanese, both in the country and abroad, have expressed joy and hope to her. Many see the potential for reclaiming their country from Hezbollah’s control and restoring Lebanon to its former glory, once known as “the Paris of the Middle East,” she explained.
On Tuesday, Gabriel appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored, offering a history lesson on Israel’s 2005 complete withdrawal from Gaza and the subsequent actions of Palestinians there that turned the coastal enclave into a terror bastion.
On Friday, she mocked President Joe Biden for telling Israel to not hit Iran’s oil fields or nuclear sites.
Israel has been engaged in ongoing clashes with Hezbollah after the group launched attacks following Hamas’s October 7 assault on Israeli civilians, which left nearly 1,200 dead and more than 240 hostages taken.
Having actively sought to expand its influence beyond the Middle East, Hezbollah is designated a terrorist organization by more than a dozen countries and international entities, including major Western nations, members of the European Union, and most Arab League member states, due to its involvement in terrorist activities against American, French, Israeli, and other targets.
Lebanon has the second-largest Christian population in the Middle East, with Maronite Catholics being the largest group, alongside Melkite Greek Catholics, Greek Orthodox, and Armenians, spread across key regions like Jounieh, Mount Lebanon, and Zahle.
In the Levantine country, many Christians have endured brutal violence, displacement, and political exclusion as Hezbollah’s power has grown, forcing large numbers to flee the country. In addition to persecuting Christians, Islamic terrorist groups have spread fear and instability that has driven countless Lebanese Christians into exile.
