Because They Hate

Because They Hate, by Brigitte Gabriel
This interview is of Brigitte Gabriel, author of Because They Hate. Her book is about the Middle East and how corrupt it truly is, she was born in Lebanon and now an American citizen. She has experienced the unstableness of the Middle East. When she was 10 her home was bombed she was wounded and spent months in the hospital, after recovering she spent many of her childhood years living in a bomb shelter. Brigitte Gabriel believes the problem in the Middle East is the Radical Islamic, as their population grew the Christians attempted to hold there ground but soon failed. Islamic fought Israel and took over. Hezbollah is a Lebanese militia group that cause many of the conflict. They do not want peace with anyone, including America and Westernization. Hezbollah is a hate filled terrorist group who have been elected by there own people, who are now the majority. In over about 20 years, Hezbollah members have married several times and had several children in hope to elect themselves. This works and they took power. When asked what the US should be doing, Brigitte responded saying that she believes the most important thing is to put pressure on Syria, because they are the ones supplying Hezbollah with missals and other weapons. Many believe that although elected, Hezbollah are not defending Lebanon, of they want bloodshed, they get it, if they want peace, well they don’t and that is causing the problem. I believe to make any advancements, Syria must stop supplying Hezbollah and the people in the surrounding countries must also pressure Hezbollah, if people let hem walk all over them, they will. Some people would argue that the US has no right to step in, but clearly no one else is doing it, and they have threatened America with suicide bombs. If we believe we can help in anyway we are entitled to do so.
