3. The druze

I know som eof them, very nice people but came across some I not sure are they Syrian,Lebonese or Jordanian. I spoke to my Arabd friends here, they seem to say that the Muslim Arab do not count them as muslims. Strange ? I am also shocked at this but they dont fast during their holy month- the ramadan and share the same believe that Mohd is their last prophet. As such no Muslim Mp's is going the Champion their needs. I suggest, Israel establish a special commission under the perview of the PMO and president to look into their needs. O come on a druze gave me a hug just two days ago, I shocked he said soemthing like..My blood your blood...I thnik he was trying to say we share Avraham together. I dun know, I gacve him wine he dosent drink, I gave him cigarets he dosent smoke, so i took a photo with him, and he had a big smile- a real smile I say. Nice fellows. Who care we welcome thos ewho welcome us, we also welcome those who hate us. We bomb them when they terrorise. O come on employ them , idiots ! Their youth make good soldiers, all well able body but I have a suspicion, can we entrust them with National Security? They travel like cow herds to and fro Syria. Anway are they some decendents of Jetro ? The Jetro as in the Torah ? I'll ask my uncle in Singapore, in the mean time any of uncles , aunties tell me. :-)))) Oldman know everything !
4. #3 ben: the Druzim have fought & died for Israel
Zvi   (04.23.09)
heroically. Their community leaders chose that Druzim should be drafted like Israeli Jews (and not like the Arabs). They are patriotic Israelis. And they serve at high levels in the IDF and government (including generals, MKs, Supreme Court justices, an aide to Ariel Sharon and, for a few days, acting president). The Druzim try to be loyal to the state in which they live - a very sensible strategy for a minority, and one that most Israeli Arabs should learn! Of course Israel trusts Israeli Druzim. Some of the Syrian Druzim who live in Israel may be another matter.
5. #1 - Judah, Even the ones with Syrian citizenship?
Joe ,   Ramat Gan   (04.23.09)
Elaborate on your comment, please.
6. @4 Zvi ...I agree with you...my friends in the IDF...
ben ,   golan - singapore   (04.23.09)
...have good words for the druzem. I like them, they are nice fellows, we should set the records straight and put things right in accordance to their needs. Thanks buddy :-)
