They are simply afraid of being excluded and discriminated against. The Apartheid still is a thing and needs to be addressed by the single nation that is backing this atrocity, US of A.

💚❤️💛💙⚪ " Druze and proud "

[@MozartJunior22]

As an Israeli Jew, I must say that I feel like we Jews aren't giving the Druze enough respect and recognition for their contribution and involvement in the state. We are the first to show gratitude to them when they enlist in the army like us and for the sacrifice of their fallen soldiers, but we tend to forget about them when they finish their service. Their infrastructure in their towns is often old and unmaintained (their waterpipes sometimes freeze on cold days in the winter), they are treated like Arabs in security checks at the airport (which is a different issue in general, but the Druze definitely don't deserve that shitty attitude), and the government tends to ignore their opinion on domestic and national issues, like what happened with the Jewish State Basic Law a few years ago. They deserve to have recognition and quality of life more than all of us, and it makes me sad to see them being ignored by the public unless it is Memorial Day.

[@yurichtube1162]

The druze should be happy they are tolerated. The army pays well and I feel they knew the consequences of living in a non-arab country.

[@avicohen1930]

Do you always look on the empty part of the glass and say the glass is half empty, instead of saying the glass is half full? with all the issues the Druze have in Israel, i think their situation is better than the situation in Syria or Lebanon, with the civil war and economic collapse of the states. of course those issues need to be taken care of, but that is not the main problems. Druze are still respected members of Israeli society, and im proud to have known them and serve with them.

[@TheTruth-tc7di]

Israeli Druze are much more respected in Israel as Citizens while in Syria and Lebanon government not giving them basic human rights . This religion is very peaceful and they appreciate fair treatment from Israeli Government.

[@pierresursock6000]

[@noamrotstain3182]

Us Jews find the Druze as our cousins, genetically, geographically, historically etc. They are very secretive like Judaism, must be loyal to their home country like Jews and have similar laws and codes (obviously there are still many differences but you get my point) and are a moral and non dogma based religions and ethnicities. Iv met some in my life in Israel and our interaction is never more than just a smile and helping eachother out with whatever.

[@TheTruth-tc7di]

Druze like Jews and the religion is a combination between 3-4 main religions. That’s why this religion consider all other religions and they respect all of them when they are respected back for sure.

[@ZeeHilal]

Thank you for saying this Noam! I am an american druze and i feel the exact same way. Thank you for writing it. We are the same people in reality despite what european powers try to impose! Divide and conquer is the trick they tried with us and our people after the holocaust. They still want to destroy the jewish people secretly i think when they try to divide us. I do not appreciate being labeled as different by the nation state law when that is not how i feel. It breaks my heart when they try to LIE and turn us against each other. We have been the same people for 1000's of years! Look how they spelled my name in english! Instead of hillel!

Like all democracies, Israel is not perfect and there is room for improvement in relation to Israeli Druze. Having said that, and having learned Arabic from my Druze teacher in high school, serving in the IDF with Druze, having a Druze financial advisor, being a guest in Druze homes in Israel, I can unequivocally say that the bond between Druze & Judeans in Israel transcends citizenship & politics. I cannot speak for all Judean Israelis, but I can say for myself & my friends, we have the highest respect for the Druze People in Israel, whom I see as my brothers & sisters in life & destiny.

Thank you Amir for your kind words. I am a Lebanese Druze who for the first time in my life I met my Druze cousins when Israel Invaded Lebanon in 1982 (they all came over as part of the specials forces in the IDF). I was educated by them about our Jewish brothers and the great connection between both of us (the Druze & the Jews). Now I have much more respect and love to the state of Israel and hope one day Lebanon and Israel will become friends to go visit all my cousins there.

What a great and fun analysis! I want more! Can you please do separate talks on Ethiopian Jews? I loved your talk. I am non Jewish, non Christian. Not religious at all. But I am deeply sympathetic to Israel and the Jewish people. I’ve studied the topic for most of my adult life, voraciously reading everything from all sides. I came to my own conclusion after much analysts not just an emotion. I find them to be a curious phenomena. No other group of people have been so discriminated against and reviled. You can almost call them a “miracle” how they have not only survived but thrived! Jews are very much the indigenous people of the land to say otherwise is just another legitimization tactic. Israel has many issues and problems but it is very much a democracy. It’s a young nation only 75 years young, it’s a work in progress just like another younger nation- the United States. No other country has achieved what Israel has in its short history in Middle East. Heck, many countries in the world. Hence much of the envy they receive. I am confident that in the years to come it will work out its internal problems. Am Yisrael Chai! 🇮🇱🤍🇮🇱

Adding to Motti’s reply, technically, also the vast majority of the Christians of Israel/Palestine and the rest of the Levant are not ethnic Arab, but are of Aramaic, Assyrian, and Canaanite roots, some of course still retain these identities to this day like the Syriac/Assyrian/Chaldean churches, as well as retaining the Aramaic language....

Yup. Same with Poland Czech China Vietnam.....everyone. Just like the Arab republic of Syria. Lebanon and Iraq are countries who tried to blend too many ethnic groups and religious sects and it never quite worked out. Maybe Iraq can be next. A Sunni Arab Hashemite country which is west Iraq and south and east Syria and Jordan. An alawite country in the north west. A Christian Maronite country. The borders in the Middle East today ethnically make no sense it’s almost as if the British wanted to divide and conquer so they purposely made those specific borders so that none of those countries would have a chance at being completely peaceful(except for Jordan, who, you guessed it, are mostly Sunni Arab or Bedouin so not too much diversity)

However, Germany, never implied anywhere that Germany is a German nation state. It’s technically just like America, a multicultural state, as there is no mention of the state and land in connection to the German people the way Israel is specified to be an entity for the Jewish people inside the homeland and outside the homeland in the diaspora.

well actually that's the first video I see it about the religion that I've born in. pretty much precise and good research but yet still missed some stuff which is normal because Druze are a very small community in the middle east, there's also something about Druze as a tip, no one can also enter the religion even if he/she wants, and their ties to the religion is strong, some knows why it's strong becuase it's called "the religion of mind and intellect", some unfortunately don't exactly know why like any other religion where there are people who know nothing about their religion otherthan that they have born in, and also Druze have a very strong ties to thier land no matter who rules it, because they respect everyones way of living in the day to day life and care about prosparety more than political ambitions. But thank you for the good documentary very much appreciated.

You yourself are making generalizations about a "people" ....model citizens...you have no idea who these individuals are or there opinions about the government...simple fact....for all you know there opinion are pro or anti government so you can't call them model citizens because you don't know each and everyone of them ...its better to look at everyone as not only as a potential threat but also the current one ...just so your not left off Gaurd when someone does something not so nice😡😡😡 2:30....in this world your either a Christian or a sinner....your a changed man or hell bound everything like race or politics mean nothing we will all suffer and die but only the worthy will receive salvation ...it seams your words are wasted 2:35

Many jews call the muslim people our cousin. Israeli Druze are so close to us, they are more than that. I call them our adoptive brother.

This is Amazing

very good educational lecture.

[@yzarwehbe394]

There is a chapter about the Druze in a book called Heirs to Forgotten Kingdoms: Journeys into the Disappearing Religions of the Middle East. You’ll find a bunch of secrets there!

[@UNPACKED]

We actually have that book in the office!

If you like music, I recommend the Druze Israeli singers Sharif and Loai Ali

Chloe! I’ve missed your beautiful brain and your point of view. Is there any way I could come tact you to ask you a question? Thank you!

I'm not sure of the underlining specifics but Israel did try to protect the Druze community in Syria during Assad's reign of terror.

[@ישעיהובן-תורה]

Because they are Syrian citizens and didn't contribute to Israeli society. Only Israeli Druze do.

[@sfink16]

What's your reply have to do with the fact that Israel did try to help the Syrian Druze as I stated? Look it up.

[@biblicalones4623]

sfink16 The Israelis were helping the radical Islamist terrorist against the Druze in Syria..

@@biblicalones4623 According to this article, it's quite complicated. However it seems that the goal still is to protect the local Druze population in Syria. But the Israelis just aren't sure which group to back to do it. They want Assad's Syrian government to fall in any case, which is where the complications come into play. www.mintpressnews.com/israel-occupy-syria-town-near-golan-heights-protect-druze/234146/
