Following the attack the Druze city of Majdal Shams, we are re-releasing our episode about the Israeli Druze community.
They serve in the army. They fly the Israeli flag. They call themselves proud Israelis. So why did a 2018 Israeli law leave the Druze community feeling abandoned? In this episode, we unpack the complex story of the Israeli Druze: their history, their identity, their “blood covenant” with the Jewish state—and the moment that made them question it all.
As tensions rise in Syria and the Golan Heights, their story matters more than ever.
