Also, according to CNN, the Druze have refused offers to integrate their forces into the national army insisting on keeping well-armed independent militias.https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/15/middleeast/israel-strikes-syria-sectarian-clashes-druze-intl

Our resident Minister for Israeli Propaganda neglected to mention such inconvenient facts when hyperbolically defending yet another Israeli bombing campaign as well as seizure of Syrian territory.
That link is a search page. The Druze of Syria do not want to have anything to do with ISIS, or the Syrian army. I dont blame them. No decent people have dealings with Islamic terrorists. The Druze of Israel are part of the IDF and do not maintain any separate militia.

I defend, support and stand with, anyone who opposes, attacks or kills Islamic extremists. Who is right or wrong, or attacked first, or steals their property, is of no relevance.

That's because the US mainstream media doesn't value Ugandan lives. Apparently neither do you. You're only interested when you think it might help Israel.

The left wingers, however, took it very seriously. I was very much aware of it at the time.
LOL/\...queers will side with anyone over a straight white conservative... uganda you say? LMFAO

The Druze in Israel are required to serve in the IDF and not allowed to maintain separate militias. Apparently the Syrian government wants to put the same rules in effect.

Not allowed, and neither do they need to. They have the protection of the IDF. In Syria, that extremist Islamic regime does not have the clout of the Jews. The Syrian govt and ISIS, are an evil force which the Druze dont care to have dealings with.

Uh… yeah… you seem to grasp the political situation on about the same scale as a 3 year old chimp comprehends quantum mechanics… nay… gravity…

Seriously. Just what do you think Israel is achieving?
Oh, please, blind us with your knowledge of what the Syrian Bedouin and Druze communities want. And why Israel is hell bent on making matters worse.

Oh, I shover in antici…

Israel needs to control the Golan Heights. Syria is a terrorist state and an enemy of Israel. The Golan Heights has critical water resources and is of strategic importance militarily. Israel using its military strength to acheive these goals is not making it worse for anyone except people outside of Israel, and that is in the category of nobody cares.


@AThousandYoung said
Because the Druze don't have the extensive influence in the USA media that Jews do. That's why we all had to hear about October 7 but the Druze are ignored.
I had to look up Druze.....useless knowledge, wish I hadn't.

Arabs that came to the region before Islam. Apparently they don't take converts to their religion.

Yeah. Sure.
I’m sure the control over water from the Golan heights won’t have any influence on Jerochlo.

Dumb arse.

Of course I value Ugandan lives, just as much as I value British lives or Japanese lives.

But there's not much I can do about it. That I missed it in whatever scant media attention it get doesn't mean I don't value it.

You cannot even make a proper point. The Golan Heights is critical to Israels security, both military and water resources. Israel took control of that area in 1967, and despite efforts to remove Israel from that area, Israel retained control.


I know this is a serious thread, but I always thought that the Druze were a pretext for a routine by Mel Brooks. Spaceballs established a tone, and my memory of them was they made the news rounds sometimes around that era. Anyhow....

The Druze are friends /allies of the Jews.
Friends of the Jews always face persecution, and even death.
Yes, and Christians are being persecuted too, for befriending Israel

Yes, the funny thing is how is it that there are so many supporters of Islamic states in the US?
