COMPLICITY is doing nothing when one sees a crime being committed and if one can easily stop the crime.
To fail to speak a word on behalf of the oppressed is worse than any crime.
Silence only helps the PERPETRATORS and it NEVER helps the victims.
Vann Boseman says
Great job!!! This was an exceptionally good moment.
Still, it brings to mind a skepticism I’ve had since my interest in the Vietnam War when it was still going on. I think it is hard to learn what is really happening. Someone on a friend’s list the other day who seems to be in Pakistan who complained that no one cares about a massacre of 400 people a few days ago, 150 of whom were children in Syria. I responded that I don’t know, that it is difficult to trust anyone in the Middle East when they speak of anything.
Over time I have become confident in the accuracy of Jihad Watch. I do see some bias some times, but I have to look really really hard to find it. I am trusting my intuition more than knowing for sure concerning things reported about other countries. My wife knows a lot about the Lebanese Civil War because her husband was Lebanese, he had trading contacts all over the world, and she lived with him as a refugee on Greek Cypress for 13 years until she moved back to the US with him. Once they came back here, it is harder to trust the accuracy of what was then, current events in my mind.
I appreciate that there are many places that are far more dangerous than here. I appreciated that revealing sources from a place that does not have freedom of the press might be, and probably is life threatening. I think that a lot of times that people are encouraged to not say what they think.
I think about the humor alluding to government power by people who lived under the Soviet Union and possibility of people being trained mentally, psychologically, and emotionally to not approach certain ideas in a straight forward manner. I think there was more to the humor than merely trying to find a backhanded way of speaking the truth. I think that there was somehow a reflection of who they were that they could share with others.

Vann,
What does your wife perceive about Brigitte Gabriel’s perspective on the Lebanon Civil War, having experienced it first had as she did prior to finding the need (after 9/11) to defend and warn America?
Gabriel began, and has expanded with others, the network called ACT for America.

Crusader:
I have not had a chance to see all of Brigitte Gabriel’s videos on the Lebanon Civil War, I can only tell you what my experiences were.
My late husband was a Greek Orthodox Christian from Tripoli, Lebanon. He was a merchant with contacts and clients around the world and dealt in everything from Band-Aids to heavy earth moving equipment for road building and construction. His office was in the Holiday Inn Tower in Beirut when the civil war started. The first buildings hit were the hotel and office building of that Holiday Inn.
At the time, he was married to his first wife and he took her and their children to Egypt to be safe. I met and married him in 1981, well after the beginning of the war and after he had divorced his first wife. We lived in Cyprus for the next 13 years. I was in and out of Beirut during the war and also taught in a Lebanese school that had evacuated from Beirut to Cyprus.
Yasser Arafat expected to take over Lebanon. He pushed his allied militias in Lebanon to support him. Lebanon was one of only two countries where the Palestinian refugees could go after they left after the formation of Israel and where they were given citizenship. The other country was Jordan. Arafat had tried taking Jordan but King Hussein ran him out, that is how he came to Lebanon.
In Lebanon, it wasn’t just about the religion, but about the militias. There were several and they held on to what territory they had with guns and young men’s lives. It was out of the civil war that Hezbollah came into existence. The Shia militia was Amal, but the young men believed the old men of Amal were not pushing the fact the Shia were more numerous than either the Maronite or the Sunni. They wanted power and wanted it by any means necessary. One of my students was a young member of Hezbollah and his father was an Amalista.
In our office in Cyprus, men would come to do business with my husband that, if they had met in Beirut, would have killed each other, but in our office, they sounded like the best of friends. They would inquire about the health of each other’s families, how their children were doing in school, or any number of inane topics. Strange, but business was one thing the men of Lebanon knew had to be preserved and more importantly, the banking system. They knew that if anything would be left after the rubble was cleared, they would need the banks and business.
My late husband never trusted the Palestinians and forever blamed them for the destruction of his beloved country. He did business with the Israelites and never regretted doing so. Many of his business friends of all religions in Beirut did the same, they just made sure the transactions were done through Cyprus or another neutral country. I regretted that when he passed, my late husband hadn’t been able to see his country again, however, he said that seeing Lebanon as it had become was something he did not want to experience.
We came to the United States in 1993. I’m originally from the U. S. so it was coming home for me but for him it was truly a strange place to be. He became a citizen the month before 9/11/2001. I had only seen him cry one or two times in his life but that day, as we watched the horror of the attacks, he wept. He cursed the ground and religion that these monsters and their ideology had birthed that made this happen. He was legally blind, a diabetic, and in general bad health, but he wanted to offer his services to the U. S. government as a translator or in whatever capacity. He wanted to help.
We spent many hours discussing many things about Lebanon and the wider Middle East. In 2007, while I was working on my Master’s in History, I wrote a paper on 9/11 and “why they hate us.” Much of it was interviews I did with him and items he translated for me from Arabic. In 2015 my husband Vann and I wrote a book, Radical Islam: Past, Present, and Future. Vann did the chapter on the Trans-Saharan slave trade and helped me with some research. The beginning of the book is the 9/11 essay and some updates to the 2007 paper.
I hope this answers your questions. If you have more, just let me know.

Or the LEFT is a loud sound silencing and muffling the voice of others….
Silence or Blaring…both are terribly un-useful for progressing on these matters of deep concern and worry.

The most moving tribute I’ve heard from anyone for the young and dignified protesters against Iranian Sharia Totalitarianism.

Yes, Jamie. God bless you and your family and your team and your work and our country. We Christians have a lot to pray for which includes the conversation of the enemies of the true God. Thank you for being one of our leaders at this time in this 1400 year battle.
Margaret says
Goosebumps. Thank you Jamie!
Ren says
Feel like Margret. Thank you Jamie. We are asking this every day –
what are the “feminists” doing about Iran’s human rights violations ?!
Michael Skok says
God will judge the cowardly Left. It is written in Revelation 21:8, which says, “But the fearful, and unbelieving…. shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” They are number one on the list of the condemned. They don’t dare speak out against the crimes of Iran, Islam and the Muslims because they don’t want to end up like news reporter Daniel Pearl.
