Fair point about Golan Druze, Iron Age …but a little oversimplified. The Druze of Mt Carmel and other areas are loyal to Israel and are very prominent in the IDF…as are the Bedouin of the Negev. I met my son in law’s Druze commander at my daughters wedding 12 years ago and it was very enlightening. The Golan Druze have been reticent about accepting Israeli nationality mainly out of fear of consequences should the Golan revert back to Syria. In recent years the younger ..and not so younger .. generation have looked at their surroundings and increasingly signed up for both Israeli nationality and the IDF.
My point was the one sided and blinkered responses by such as 64 who had nothing to say about the tragedy of the Druze kids. It’s so easy to pick a side and then beat the drum. I simply asked why.
Is it laziness and ignorance or …just Israel/ Jew hatred? My own flesh and blood are on the line in this conflict and it’s galling, even nauseating, to read the shallow and uninformed opinions of some posters who display no real knowledge and even less real empathy for ALL those involved.
