1. Easy solution for the Golan Druze
Jake ,   Dallas   (03.24.19)
Offer to move border fence so their towns are in Syria. Let them put their money where their mouths are. Let them enjoy Syria.
2. sadly it won't change anything
zionist forever   (03.24.19)
If a future Israeli government decides they are willing to trade the Golan for peace they will and assuming that no future US administrations do not change the US recognition of Israeli sovereignty ( which they can legally ) the US can still pressure an Israeli government to give up land which the US sees as Israeli sovereign territory so unfortunately this has not made it any easier for Israel to keep the Golan long term.
As for the Druze, they can live as Syrians in Israeli territory and considering that Israel annexed the Golan formerly annexed the Golan almost 40 years ago nothing has changed for them except the US recognition of Israeli sovereignty.
3. Never listen to men wearing dresses.
David ,   Hartford USA   (03.24.19)
and if they insist, deport them to Syria, where Assad will welcome them with barrel bombs, poison gas, random shootings, and other Assad amusements.

Had this region been part of Syria these last 5 years, most of these morons and their families would be dead. I hope they understand that. (But obviously they don't. After all, they are morons.)

The clowns give ingrates a bad name...
4. Reuters fake news. The Druze are quite happy.
Jake   (03.24.19)
5. And for these “patriots” we should deny Israel is the home
MadDad ,   Johannesburg   (03.24.19)
of the Jewish people?
If they were to have their way - Magdal Shams would be an ISIS colony.
Long live the National Home of the Jewish people!!
6. IT AINT ROCKET SCIENCE
ALBERTO EINSTEIN ,   SAFED GENIUS   (03.24.19)
The Golan Druze are good loyal citizens of the jewish state.They have ,in the past ,seen / witnessed Israel relinguish teritory to Egypt ( the Sina peninsula ) to Jordan and have seen the evcuation of israelis from Gaza.Many Golan druze also have family residing across the border in Syria. These Golan druze are reasonably insecure and nervous ,they simply can not afford to openly demonstrate love andsolidarity for Israel ,not if they wish to survive,and they wish to survive. So I do not blame them for not wanting to have their throats cut in some future deal with Syria.
7. THIS IS ALL JUST AN ACT
ROBERT DE ZERO ,   Hollyweird Actor   (03.24.19)
8. " Many still have relatives on the syrian side "
CAPTAIN OBVIOUS ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (03.24.19)
Which is why they " pretend ' to be loyal to Syria with the flag-waving etc.
9. The Druze better can go all to Mecca,
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn Holland   (03.24.19)
if they do not agree with Israel and remain "worshipping", brainwashing the crime "islam".That goes for the entire "islam" following (including the Druze), almost 2 billion. Let them all go on a hadj, one way, to Mecca and stay there forever and leave the rest of our humankind, more than 6 billion, alone and in peace. I do not want to meddle in Israëli, domestic, internal affairs. I think the jewish, Israëli people know exactly how to handle their own Israëli, national business, without being lectured by other countries and people. In this case, what happens in Israel, can happen in any other country.
10. WTF is wrong with these turbanoids?! Can't put 2&2 together?
(03.24.19)
11. Deport that SCUM to Syria !!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.24.19)
12. So what?
judah ,   jerusalem   (03.24.19)
what did you expect, give them time , a lot of time
13. Druzee have no intention of becoming part of Syria again
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (03.24.19)
They never had it better under Israel and Syria may hail some of them for treason.

No good reason for them to risk that.
14. SHOW THEM THE WAY BACK TO SYRIA.>>>>>>>
OLEG ,   FLORIDA   (03.25.19)
15. MUSLIMS ARE ALWAYS ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE HISTORY
Iranian Jew ,   LALA LAND   (03.25.19)
They see how incompetent Syria and the Iranian mullahs are in their own countries, but they still insist on joining the wrong side. Syria was using Glaon to attack Israel all the time before the war and now it is very quiet since Israel is handling it. Gaza was in much better situation before Ham Ass take over, and now we have war on the border every single day. Sinai was handed over to Egypt and it has become a wasteladf full of ISIS attacking everything everyday. Giving land in exchange for peace is just a waste of resources, time and life. Muslim leaders are not interested in real commerce at heart. They seek dominance and chaos. Golan will stay with Israel to remind Syrians all day long to behave or else.
16. is it good for the Druze to be syrian?
jochar Thijssen ,   kfar saba Israel   (03.25.19)
even the Druze will not miss an oppertunity to make terrible mistakes. They have dual citizenship and don't want to lose the Syrian one.Now they will have to choose.
17. Turkey shamefully let the Yazidis be slaughtered
The Istanbulian ,   Istanbul   (03.25.19)
Israel can honorably give them refuge. Israel can begin a union of islamically abused peoples and create a large, healthy, diverse group of peoples with a common gosl in life — to live free!
18. How many divisions do the Druze have?
Cameron   (03.25.19)
