these answers arent exceptions mind you, this is how every single druze person i met feels. they are stateless people, they dont care who rules them, they just want to live in peace and be loyal to whoever as long as they get to live a normal happy life. love these people.

[@AhmirNawaz]

How can they feel stateless? The first problem is that they don’t identify for the most part as Arabs when they clearly are all ethnically Arabs. Then they are Israeli by nationality. Either they are very select with their answers which causes them to stumble due to their ingrained ideas of secrecy which even them to lie even (called taqiya - all secretive groups are known to do this) or they feel they have political reasons to only stick to the mantra that they are Israeli which is also correct as they are all carrying Israeli nationality. But to call themselves Druze what does that even mean? As most of them admit hardly anyone except their secret leadership knows anything about the religion. It’s a belief in what exactly for them? A belief that doesn’t shape, govern their life at all can hardly be a way of life you are following them? It’s a name without meaning only. The only real impact of carrying this title is that it has slowly restricted the gene pool over a millennia. At least the Jewish Samaritans have a distinct theology. They too are having to marry non Samaritans now if they are to survive as a group.

that's a phrase that's easily misunderstood.

I think that option 1 is more probable, but if it was option 2, then he basically meant the opposite of what it means in the west. the opposite of "the old ball and chain"

Palestine was not a country at that time and it was governed by the British, before that by the Ottoman Empire. Being a Jewish state doesn't mean that only Jews can live there, just as you have plenty of nation states around the world with significant ethnic minorities.

In practice, Druze have a clear distinction between ethnicity and religion despite nearly uniquely close relationship between them by being exclusive to one another and closed to outsiders. Jews are a unique case where religion and ethnicity are intertwined in a co-deepened relationship. 2 cases of small minorities can hardly be called "everyone in the middle east". And religion-language relations aren't a unique case either, as Europe had several wars over the idea of translating the bible to any language that's not Latin.

Druze have similar system, but simpler and its closed; you can only be born ethnically Druze to Druze parents and only ethnic Druze can practice Druze religion. With Jews, you can be born ethnically Jewish to Jewish parents, which allows to practice Jewish religion. Being a semi-open system, a non-ethnically Jewish person can practice Jewish religion, but that requires the person to denounce his birth culture and devote himself to Judaism both religiously and culturally, at this point, the person is accepted as ethnically converted Jew and the children of that person will be considered ethnically Jewish.

pretty much, I have relatives in multiple places in the world, some of them serves in the US military, some serves in the Syrian military, and both are my relatives. becuase what counts to Druze is the land and loyalty, and prosparety more than political ambitions, I came from a very quite peaceful Druze village in Lebanon, where you don't realy care about what is the next law more than what you care about your neighbour and yourself prosparity, but of course this might differ slightly depends on surrounding.

Just to add a bit of color. As someone of Lebanese Druze descent, Lebanese and Syrian Druze generally feel differently. Druze are always for Druze #1. However Non Israeli Druze do in general identify as Arabs, just like Maronites or Melkites do. I do realize this channel is about Israel, but I wanted to make sure outsiders know that Druze are not exclusive to Israel. While Lebanese and Syrian Druze are less hostile to Israel than many Arab muslims, they generally view Israel as an aggressor country. I'm not taking a stand on the issue, thats just how most of Lebanese and Syrian Druze communities feel. I love this channel and appreciate all the work Corey does, but I felt the need to add this context. The one thing that binds Druze is they will always protect each other. I dont feel thats right (I am a secular atheist, but my poor parents insist I have been reincarnated, they mostlt chill about it though) but it is unique. You may have very different political feelings, national loyalties, but if you need refuge, even if you are some Australian surfer dude with druze parents, you go to any Druze settlement give your family name and the village. If that checks out they will take you in, almost regardless of what youve done. Its like a get out of jail free card. Although the dressing down you get from the shaykh may be worse than prison.

As long as Durzian are having privileges they will stand with any government, regardless the truth, they just want to stay in their land and live in peace. All the Duruz are arabs and their roots came from Yemen. They came to this land at the 2th century. And they fought with the other arabs and took this land from the Roman empire. I just want to say all Druz in Israel know that Israel took the Arabs land 1948 and killed thousands,at the same time they know that they are Palestinian and arabs. But saying this loud can cost the privileges which Israelian government gave. Note : the Israelian government treats the Druz better than the arabs 48. And they have more rights.

I don’t understand why do they have to say they’re Arab if they speak Arabic. I speak Spanish but I’m not Spanish

[@mememeelma3096]

Cuz they are Arabs -.- they live in northern Palestine which is now Israel so they took the Israeli citizenship. So by nationality they are Israelis. But they are Arabs by ethnicity

@drc ula Palestinian. Arabs can be from Arab countries. Don’t be stupid
