Syrian Arabs?   (10.30.18)
So a year ago they demanded from Israel to protect the fiercely anti-Israeli pro-Assad Syrian Druses villages from extermination at the hands of ISIS and demanded that in no uncertain terms, and now they are suddenly feeling their Syrian identity and accuse Israel of dividing them, those ungrateful whatever they are...
2. Raising Israel flag in Syria means being killed on the spot

3. Right to vote
Arnishel ,   Montreal   (10.30.18)
Since when is giving the Druze a right to vote sowing dissent?
4. Only the Golan Druze are crazy like this
Vered, Israel   (10.30.18)
other Druse communities, such as Dalyat al Carmel, are very loyal to Israel
5. Haters
Haters   (10.30.18)
Druze live in the hills because they flee from Muslim Arabs there!
6. Either you are IN or OUT
Tim ,   Brighton   (10.30.18)
The Golani Druze cant sit on the fence when on the one hand they are enjoying religious, political and personal freedoms, social services and prosperity as part of Israel and on the other hand fly the flag of the enemy whose record on taking care and protecting Druze Community interests in Syria has been shameful!

What short memories....

All this serves to do is allow the religious elders to ISOLATE the Golani Druze Community especially the young Golani Druze from the rest of Israeli society and seriously undermine their future prospects prosperity and societal cohesion

Such a great shame...

9. Populate the Golan with Jews.
naro ,   nyc   (10.30.18)
Arab conquests of the Middle East and North Africa were made through high birth rate (four wives were very instrumental in that). Israel should settle a million in the Golan Height as soon as possible.
10. The Golan Heights
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn Holland   (10.30.18)
The Golan Heights belong to Israel, just as, for example, the Gaza strip, Judea, Samaria, Eilath, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Haifa forever.
11. it might not be inappropriate to expel ring-leaders to Syria
Rafi ,   US   (10.31.18)
12. 2
zionist forever   (10.31.18)
Israel set up a field hospital on its side of the Golan to treat Syrian refugees.
After they were healthy again they of course had to go back to Syria but when they got back to Syria they could not tell anybody that they had been treated in Israel otherwise they probably would have been killed because the committed the terrible crime of asking Israel for medical help.
In wars injured POWS can without shame accept medical treatment from enemy soldiers they had been trying to kill but for the Syrians innocent civilians could not accept medical help from Israel and tell anybody if they don't want to risk their lives.
13. Compare resolutions, Majdal Shams and Yitzhar on Google Maps
Steve Benassi ,   Plymouth, MN USA   (10.31.18)
Illegal Settlement Zooming restricted on Google Maps to 2 Meters resolution, why? Land Theft.

Compare Zoom ability on Google maps between Yitzhar and Majdal Shams. Map of Yitzhar is limited to 2 Meter resolution, map of Majdal Shams can go down to Street Level photographs.

14. Arabs prefer dictatorships that kill them.
jochair thijssen ,   kfar saba israel   (11.01.18)
Druze religeon is too close to Islam and people have trouble to free their minds of Islamic suppression and control.
