Perhaps before you label Ms. Gabriel as a "whore" you should take the time to listen to her interview. This may explain to you many things. One being why she is in support of Israel. americancongressfortruth.com

I believe it's truly a mental hurdle for you to get it...that support for Israel comes from Jews and non-Jews, alike. And that it's not based on $$ or hatred for the other side, but pure principle. Until you can finally understand that you won't be able to listen or hear but hurl diatribes and insults. Slut? Does your hatred run that deep? lazarre

Well Wickedpedia says this might have something to do with it. Brigitte Gabriel was born in 1965 in Lebanon to a Maronite Christian family. Gabriel has said that during the Lebanese Civil War Muslim militants launched an assault on a Lebanese military base near Gabriel's house and bombed her home, collapsing it. Brigitte's mother was severely injured and spent 2 1/2 months in an Israeli hospital recovering. Gabriel claims that she and her parents were forced to live in a 8x10 bomb shelter underground for several years with no heat, running water and little food. To get water she claims to have crawled underground to a spring in a ditch. Before they left they said prayers, because they did not know if they would come back alive. According to her in 1978, when she was 13, a man warned Brigitte’s family that Islamic militants were coming and the Christians are in danger. She says on that day she dressed in burial clothes in preparation. Gabriel claims that in 1978 a man warned her of an impending attack by Islamic militias. She claims her life was saved that night when Israelis invaded Lebanon in Operation Litani. Later, her mother became ill and was taken to an Israeli hospital where Brigitte noted the humanity of the Israelis in contrast to the propaganda she had viewed as a child.
