The Druze may be wonderful people as you say but the Israeli government
refused to build bomb shelters in the Druze villages and Daa Abbas, 15, was
sitting in her living room watching TV with her mother and brother when a
rocket hit the house, claiming her life in the Druze village of Mghar. IIRC
none or very few of the Arab-Israelis in Israel have access to bomb shelters
either.

With all the media focused on Lebanon the Zionist slaughter is getting worse
in the Gaza concentration camp and very little is reported about it on this
side of the pond.

This conflict is not going to go away quickly so do what ever you can to be
safe.

Thank you Tegan
living in this part of the world , one can not ignore any Group of the
many minorities that live here.we open our minds, we ask and see,.

The Druz are a small nation , which origins in the area aprox
between Syria and iraq. The Area where the big wars between the
[anciet] Persians and the [ancient] Greek fought, And if you are lucky
enough to know a bit about their [secret] religion it has reminders of
both these cultures.
The Druze are divided mainly between Syria, Lebanon and Israel,
They are wonderful people. Culturely they claim to be the desendents
of JITRO [from the Bible ] Moses` father in law.

I'm staying FAR away from any discussions regarding the current
situations, other than to wish Mirjam and all hers as much safety as
possible. However, I'm curious about this one word you used: Druze?
Who? Where religion is concerned, I'll admit to almost complete
ignorance, but I thought I knew most of the players... I've never heard
this one before, or if I have, it's been by another name.

Stay safe, Mirjam!
