5. Way to hurt the larger Druze community
William ,   Israel   (07.30.12)
Now you put the entire Golan Druze community in a hard place - suspected and untrusted by BOTH sides of the border. Nicely done.
6. #4 - Arabs already in IDF
William ,   Israel   (07.30.12)
and the Druze, not the Golan Druze, are very fierce fights with a bone to pick with Arab Muslims who have abused them for centuries. The "Palestinians" HATE the Druze because of this, underscoring the need to keep them in the IDF. Bedouin also contribute a great deal to the IDF and the State of Israel, and should never be belittled.
7. Most Arab Israelis Are Loyal to Israel
elizabethlynne ,   Dallas, Texas!   (07.30.12)
Reply to #4: Most of the Arab Israelis and the Druse Community are loyal to Israel, and recognize that they have a good life in Israel. The entire group cannot be judged by the actions of a few. It is not the Jewish way to be anti-Arab.
8. Loyal Druze
P   (07.30.12)
This news will only make the loyal Druze (majority) work with Israel even more.
9. The Druze are some of the very best soldiers
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (07.30.12)
I have served with many Druze and they are some of the very best soldiers in the IDF. It is sad that this one individual decided to commit treason. Since Syria is at war with Israel - he should be hung for his crimes.
10. Cut Off His Batsum And Send Them In Box To assad!!!

Perfect Message!!!
11. He probably had no choice
Semsem ,   New York, USA   (07.30.12)
He probably had no choice .
12. #9 Very True! - I've also served with them
David ,   Shiloh Israel   (07.30.12)
13. Spy?
Mark Greenberg ,   Winnipeg, CAnada   (07.30.12)
Before Israel throws the book at this guy make sure he did it on his own free will. I suspect he would have been threatened with death or his family threatened if he didn't play along. The Syrian regime is evil and would definitely use low tactics to get what they want. I hope the truth is uncovered because my instinct tells me there's more to this story. WHY would this guy spy? There's probably a good reason he did most likely under threat of harm. Just my 2 cents..
14. #4
alsky ,   toronto   (07.30.12)
you should never paint all people with one brush. There are some wonderful Arabs living in Israel. I have met many !
15. #1...Yeahh!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (07.30.12)
16. Arab Israelis in the Army
Moshe of Rockville ,   Rockville,MD USA   (07.30.12)
Arab-Israelis already have the opportunity to serve in the IDF on a voluntary basis.Indeed, three Arab-Israelis are generals, and many are officers. G-D bless all of them and the rest of the IDF.
17. Some spy...
Henry from New York ,   Currently in Israel   (07.30.12)
With the exception of the military radio, you could get all this stuff at Dizengoff Center!
18. Two headlines next to each other ,...
split ,   US   (07.30.12)
Both are just suspects - "Druze suspected of spying for Syria" and "Shin Bet official suspected of fiscal misconduct" one is with a picture and the other is not ,...
19. #18 - Life is a bitch for Druze in Israel ,...
snag ,   USA   (07.30.12)
One comes with the name and town he lives in the other with nothing no details plus a gag order.
20. Why limit deportations to Africans?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.31.12)
I say deport all non Jews. Israel belongs to Jews and our motto should be 'Jews Only'...
