Druze caught between 'Hezbollah and Israeli occupiers’, specialist says • FRANCE 24 English

The Druze community in the Golan Heights where a strike that Israel blamed on Hezbollah killed 12 youths in a border village Saturday is “caught between Hezbollah and Israeli occupiers”, said Scott Lucas, University College Dublin professor of US and International Politics. “They’re in a no-win situation where they could get hit by either side”, Lucas said, adding that Israel has failed to provide security for the region that it has occupied since 1967.

Sorry Prof. You need to brush up on your middle east history. You are clearly biased.

The Druze serve in the IDF and hold positions in public service. They are not occupied and free to practice their religion.

[Alan-lvrw]

That will always be Israeli territory.

Druze preserve their culture but are also part of Israeli society and well integrated and respected….they serve in the IDF both as soldiers and officers

Israel couldn't kill jews but it killed Druze to facilitate a war with Hezbollah or to blame Hezbollah and make them Internationally condemned.
