[@yakov95000]

Druze were always powerful minority in part because of them being armed,living in the mountains and I don’t think it has anything to do with hostility on contrary,they just want to be able to live in quite and defend themselves from violent man.Al Nusra(Now HTS)and other Islamists in past did car bombing,kidnapping and attacking thier villages and people,this is why there is some distrust. In this regard Israel got pleas from all minorities in Syria for help,Israel will stand for the minorities in Syria,regardless of they feeling about Israel specifically(some less some more)Alawites,Christians,Druze and Kurds have to have freedom to live quietly without the fear of being persecuted.

[@aisharoberts2583]

The Druze should respect the need at this time for unity & solidarity..They have been assured they will be respected unlike under the rule of Assad...Of course France would post these sort of divisive narratives, it's in their nature especially now as their colonist powers are failing in Africa. The Syrian people more than ever need to come together & protect themselves from outside influence.

[@check8076]

exactly

[@samankucher5117]

Americans have guns everywhere this is not about solidarity its about control and extortion.

The rebels now controlling Syria is allied with and supported by Turkey. Turkey even publicly said now that Turkey will write the Constitution of Syria. The Druze is not allied with Turkey and want a Syrian country that is independent from Turkey.

[@michaeltoma9329]

They should give up the weapons. This has nothing to do with personal gun ownership and the fact the government should be the sole owner of military equipment. This is being required of all of the armed rebel factions. No government would properly form with a bunch of different armed factions owning territory and making their own rules. The US government controls and owns all the weapons of their military.

[@LeonardoDissent]

Yes because they will be always used as tools and earn money. Giving up arms means those tanks and anti-aircraft machine guns . Small arms with licenses is permissible.
