1:17 Wait, These Druz just stated they don't want to be part of Israel. What does it matter if Israel past it's nation state?! They can't have it both way. What Israel needs to do is ignore them. Just fix the roads.
 These Druze can go over to the other side if they want... no. I though so.

It might be a good idea for Israel to move the border so Majdal Sham's druze population will be again in Syria since they don't like to be part of Israel. The Druze loving Syrians will take them back.
But when Israel moves the border they better let Majdal Sham's druze people know that there is no coming back :-) When Assad or Isis or any other peace-loving arab/muslim group decides to attack their village(s) now being part of Syria, Israel will not defend them.
I served with Israeli Druze soldiers in the Golan Heights - great soldiers, people and overall Israeli that have all the rights and privileges in Israel. However, Druze from these four villages), who feel strongly to be a part of Syria again should not have same rights as Israelis and either move the border so they be again part of Syria or send them back.
