My first trip to Israel we visited the Druze in northern Israel. Very peaceful, pleasant and unique way of life. They were gracious to share the peaceful essence of their lifestyle, and elegant taste in food and dcor. We left feeling very well cared for, even though the sense of being a guest never ceased. I was able to purchase amber beads that remind me of that vigilant, yet peaceful people and reminds me of the experience with such a unique and tight knit brotherhood.
🙏🏽 Prayers for Shalom for the Druze 🙏🏽 Thank you for your analysis; I'm so impressed with your observations; I am now subscribed and will share with others ❤
The Druze community in Israel are peaceful people, that's why they coexist with other communities of different faith or religion. Btw, not all Muslims are bad and violent, so not all seek the destruction of Israel. Proof is that there are Arab Muslims in Israel who coexist peacefully with the Jews and others with different religions. Being good or bad is a personal choice of every individual.
Druze leaders are very smart and they want to look after their beloved people or community. I thought Druze people have learned how the ousted Assad treated Druze and now they Will be LED by the extremists/radical mosleems groups which might treat them very bad
Thanks for a very nice video in 'English' on the Druze community. Israeli Druzes are valued citizens and integral part of Israel. Like Jews, they are conscripted and serve In IDF. There is also a sizable Druze population in Golan Heights of Israel, which has been annexed by Israel in 1981 and the USA has recognised it as part of Israel. Jay Hind 🇮🇳✌️👍🎄♥️💯.
@catalinowong6193 Those are the Druz villages that are agesent to the Golan border. The next concentration of Druz is in the Mount Druz area, which is 90 miles away from the border. They requested protection. A few years ago, when Jihadi groups approached Mount Druz, Israel intervened and warned them to keep their distance. For them to join Israel. Israel will need to create a bridge a long the border with Jorden to connect them to the state.
Nice , minorities must be protected in any nation including hindu & budhist in now islamist bangladesh. Already india has taken too many persecuted refugees from bangladesh for past 70 yrs .
Absolutely the Druze are good loyal citizens always! Israel welcomes them with a warm heart and open arms to join their bros in Israel living in freedom and security!
A very interesting development with Israel and Druze and the parallel with what could happen in Bangladesh. This was well presented and clearly explained. Thank you.
People just want peace, regardless of their nationality, race, culture and tribe. If the Druze think they'll be ok in Israel, may God grant them their request in JESUS name
This meeting was their referendum. This was their elders and senior religious leaders. There was not 1 objection. The UN hate Israel though so get ready for the shouts of "illegal occupation. The Golan was won in war *that Israel did not start) and no people's were forced out. This is in line and legal within the Geneva convention. But still the UN just hates
yes Syria Druze, Christian and Kurds must be allied with Israel for better blessings and cooperation among nations and for peace and prosperity as well as Libanon because majority of them are Druze too so that no more terrorists that will interfere with their government affairs
True, and even if Jolani's words are true, and he wants to go moderate. Who says he can control his coalition of radicals? What if anarchy breaks out and it becomes a slaughterhouse. By then it is too late.
The Druze would be very wise to make a long term arrangement with Israel. This would solve the problem of the Golan Heights. Syria should become separate states for the various ethnic and religious areas. Syria has NEVER been a state ! It is an assemblage of tribes and groups with nothing in common - within the Ottoman Empire. When the Ottoman Empire was dismantled at Versailles after WW I, the Allies cobbled together two “Mandates”: one territory for France 🇫🇷 (Syria and Lebanon) and one for the UK 🇬🇧 (Iraq, Palestine and Trans-Jordan). The were simply two artificial jumbles. When France and England left the Levant it was absolutely inevitable that matters would eventually return to its tribal reality. Israel needs to join their natural allies: Christians, Druze, Kurds, Assyrians and Yazidis. They all win in terms of security. Turkey 🇹🇷 needs to be pushed back as they want to recreate a new pre-WW I Ottoman Empire in the Levant and this would have some very nasty outcomes. Under one scenario, if Turkey succeeds, they could pose as great a threat to regional and global security as Iran under the mad mullahs.
Druze were historically allied to the jews 😅 against the arabs . They used to be part of ruling christain minority during colonial occupation of the ottoman regions post first world war
In 1967 and 1973 Syria was one of several Arab countries who launched wars in Israel. Wars Israel won fair and square. The Golan heights are extremely important for the safety of Israel from both Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. The are Druze who live peacefully and with prosperity and freedom in Israel and they are related to the Druze who live in danger and poverty in the Syrian side. The village in question is on the border of the demilitarized zone and the population want to join their families in the Israeli side of the border.
druze aren't muslims, they have their own religion. the religion may have sprang from islam but they don't consider themselves muslims, and muslims don't consider them muslims. if i had to guess, israel will annex them but is worried about global reactions
The Druze area in the Golan heights can serve as an extension of the demilitarized zone but controlled by Israeli military for security purposes, protecting both druzes and Israel. .
Right now hindu are struggling against assault on them , sarva jana can wait right now hindu jana protection should be of prime importance else this sarva jana shukino bhavanthu ideology will be lost to the world forever
If my memory is right that one of the past heads of Druze faction was fond of advaita philosophy and visited Kanchipuram to pay respect to Kanchi Maha Swamy.
@preethishetty6179 First, you study about Kanchi saint. Talk to someone well versed in Kanchi sankaracharya mutt affairs. When he was alive some palestenian would come to have his blessings and somebody from Israel also would visit him to seek his blessings. Or search in google what subramanya swamy written about him. India owes a lot to this saint. One example: A devout IAS officer, came to him seeking his permission if he should accept Govt's offer for a posting as Ambassador. The saint did not allow. Next time he came asked for saint's nod to accept a job at UN. Refused. Third time he came and sought permission that the Govt is offering him the post of Election Commissioner. The Kanchi Saint nodded and said a lot is needed to be done. Go and set things right. The retired IAS Officer was TN Seshan. Search and read about the saint.
It’s impossible in Bangladesh. But it’s possible for Druze people in Israel. Indian Hindus have a complex issues within Hindus. Northern Hindus doesn’t accept southern Hinduism and vice versa
@@avinashsharma984this type of problems are everywhere. Bangladesh was formed due to such issues only as well Pakistan is on verge of split due to lack of acceptabulity among them.
@Hans-k9d. Druze will not have a state within Israel. They’ll be Israeli citizens. Druze never wanted a state. They are mostly loyal to the country they live in.
Namaskar mr Iyer , sorry but u fail to mention that they want to be annex to israel as they feel its lesser evil . This is clear in the video u showed , i think u should have mentioned in ur talk. Why should Israel take them ? I think Israel should evaluate the threats they could pose in future to Israel before considering their wish
Good point! If they want to be annexed to Israel, they have to follow Israeli laws and in Israel, the Druze must serve in the military. It is NOT optional for them.
Sree Iyer Ji, One of the most prominent well known and well respected Druze in Syria was Major General Issam Zahreddine. Issam Zahreddine is a Druze Major General in the Syrian Arab Army: Born: 1961 in Tarba, As-Suwayda Governorate Military service: Served in the Baath Party's People's Militia from 1980-1982, and was commissioned as an officer in the Airborne (Special Forces) Armoured units in 1982. For 3 long years his unit was encircled by Isis Daesh in Dier Ezzor Inside an air base and they were completely cut off and yet he encouraged his men under him not to surrender and to fight till death and he personally led the battle against the Isis Daesh and succeeded in getting rid of them. Inspite of heavy odds he won the battle and returned home victorious. During further fighting against the Isis Daesh his convoy of vehicles in which he was sitting hit a mine and exploded killing him. He was a highly respected and decorated for his bravery.
I think there is also a decorated IDF Druze officer whose identity has not been disclosed yet who died not too long ago when his unit infiltrated Gaza and had to be extricated by the IDF and died in the ensuing battle. Another decorated IDF Druze offucer was head of the Golani unit who was also wounded in a battle with Hamas.
From Isaiah 54: "“Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. 3 For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities."
Israel has a druze population since the nation began. they deserve their respected place in israel.
Yes, Israel values the Druze Community. Druze serve in the army and are represented in all of Israeli society.
Yes brother. We love our Israeli Druez. They are loyal and a great people's
But they say lesser evil Israel...@@baruchhashem49
I had a druze commander in the army. Incredible guy
Israel is such a blessing, everyone who's lived with them harmoniously has only prospered.
He God promised Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that nations will be blessed through israel
I hope they get their wish. Druze have long been friends to Israel. Israeli Druze have become part of the IDF.
Recently a very high ranking IDF druze had to sacrifice his life in Gaza..It was very sad for the community..Bless Israel & the Druze community
My first trip to Israel we visited the Druze in northern Israel. Very peaceful, pleasant and unique way of life. They were gracious to share the peaceful essence of their lifestyle, and elegant taste in food and dcor. We left feeling very well cared for, even though the sense of being a guest never ceased.

Thank you for your analysis; I'm so impressed with your observations; I am now subscribed and will share with others ❤
Non-Muslims would be safer under Israel. Israel is a Jewish State but it's also a benevolent State.
Who are it's benevolent?
Muslims as well
Why non Muslims? 😂😂 I thought there are 2M Muslims living Israel with the same rights as the Jews !!.. I think your knowledge is kinda outdated 😅😂😂😂
Druze are good people is real save them they just need peace
Muslims live better within Israel as well, richest bank in Israel is Arab-run!
Good decision by the people of DRUZE to be under ISRAEL.
They are not UNDER Israel,
they are PART of Israel.
Big difference imho
If Druz people believes in Quran, then don't.
@@kolardorpe3161 there are 2 million arabs that are muslim in israel and they believe in the quran. People have freedom in israel so why not?
The Druze community in Israel are peaceful people, that's why they coexist with other communities of different faith or religion.

can Israel trust them..?
Israel must lead the Druze Jews Christians of the area...a pro Israel regime in Lebanon a must too
I have long wondered why the Christians do not rise up against Hezbollah.
Give Syria to Israel, Syria will be rich and prosperous PLUS peaceful
Exactly!.... More to it, Christians in Lebanon need to declare their own state.
beacuse hezbullah saved libanon
Druze people has taken good decision.
Druze leaders are very smart and they want to look after their beloved people or community. I thought Druze people have learned how the ousted Assad treated Druze and now they Will be LED by the extremists/radical mosleems groups which might treat them very bad
Lmao assad was treating them well
Israel is a stable blessed Nation
Yes. And only democratic nation in the neighborhood. 👍💯👌✌️
A promised nation will go to heaven while others will go to hell, what a philosophy !!
@@NasirKhan-bx8qv it’s your philosophy, not Israel’s. You’re obviously not familiar with Judaism
Fail state
As Israeli Jew, I will accept my Druze brothers and sisters with opened arms.
As an Israeli Jew. I too accept our Drueze brothers. They have been a blessing
As an Israeli Jew, I too would allow the Druze to unite with their Israeli relatives
As an American Jew, the kindness of Israeli Jews makes me proud.
Same here 🤗

Sir Bibi, the fate of Druze is in your hands. Save them.
My understanding from this video only one group of them have asked to be annexed, about 48%.
@catalinowong6193 Those are the Druz villages that are agesent to the Golan border. The next concentration of Druz is in the Mount Druz area, which is 90 miles away from the border. They requested protection. A few years ago, when Jihadi groups approached Mount Druz, Israel intervened and warned them to keep their distance. For them to join Israel.

@@connie.22 40k people not 48%, 4-6 villages that live adjacent to the border.
Thanks for the coverage. No way mainstream media will cover this!
You are right, mainstream media will ofcoz ignore this because they don't want Israel to be seen as "good guy"...
Druze leader knew if they under the rule of Israel.they the Druze people will be safe God will blrss Israel and.Druze comments from eadt Malaysia.
Nice , minorities must be protected in any nation including hindu & budhist in now islamist bangladesh. Already india has taken too many persecuted refugees from bangladesh for past 70 yrs .
Absolutely the Druze are good loyal citizens always! Israel welcomes them with a warm heart and open arms to join their bros in Israel living in freedom and security!
Bibi talked about the safety of the Druze people after HTS came inside Syria...Tribes like Beduen, Druze likes Israeli ..
Assad was also pro-druze
HTS?
@@Thenoobestgirl Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)
A very interesting development with Israel and Druze and the parallel with what could happen in Bangladesh. This was well presented and clearly explained. Thank you.
As like druze..bangladeshi hindus must also speak out publicly ...only then india can involve and take actions..
People just want peace, regardless of their nationality, race, culture and tribe. If the Druze think they'll be ok in Israel, may God grant them their request in JESUS name
False.
In some tribal societies peace is what one's own tribe attains by eliminating rival tribes.
I am amazed how much you took pain to bring out finer details. You are GENIUS. ❤🎉🎉
let druze hold referendum
UN will not recognise that referendum
If another nation will do it then Un will be ok , but not with israel
This meeting was their referendum. This was their elders and senior religious leaders. There was not 1 objection. The UN hate Israel though so get ready for the shouts of "illegal occupation.

Exactly!
Very interesting information about the Druze and the conjecture about Chittagong
Thanks for the update Sree!
The Druze precede Islam and Christianity. Druze and Jews have always worked well together. Their primary homeland are the mountains of Lebanon.
Druze are considered takfiri by Islamic, so it is indeed not safe in Syria after the recent revolution
True, and even if Jolani's words are true, and he wants to go moderate. Who says he can control his coalition of radicals? What if anarchy breaks out and it becomes a slaughterhouse. By then it is too late.

As long as Druzes think they are Muslims, follower of allha, Israel has to be very careful.
20% of Israeli military is made-up of Druzes

@rmayya. Druze aren’t muslim, nor @robs
they're not muslim.
Very good background information.
Druze understand the basic reality that's why they are wishing this
Very nice information!

Beautiful analysis 🎉
they know what islamists are.....
When the Druze wanted to merge with Israel it may be accepted by Israel
Even Persia was a benevolent State during the era of Kurus aka Cyrus, Darius etc. They respected the Religions and Traditions of other People.
What else can they ask for when they find themselves in the same situation as Bangladeshi Hindus, Israeli Jews, Mynmmars Buddhist.
Forward Together ❤️
Another excellent presentation, top quality🙏🙏🙏
Very smart move by the Druze.
The Druze must be Smart people.
Good decision by the Druze.
When God works no one can stop.praise the Lord.
6 Druz villages had a referendum already. They voted unanimously to join the state of Israel.

Brilliant!
God bless Israel, great Israel
The Druze have always served with distinction in IDF.
From Isaiah 54: "“Enlarge the place of your tent,
stretch your tent curtains wide,
do not hold back;
lengthen your cords,
strengthen your stakes.
3
For you will spread out to the right and to the left;
your descendants will dispossess nations
and settle in their desolate cities."
When it comes to stability of nation, Israel is perhaps the nation I can think. I wish someday India follow the footsteps of Israel.
Good coverage
let the Druze community of that area choose which side they want to be.. They know better where they are much safer..
No sign of the UN in this case!
Well done. Thanks
Very interesting analysis...
