Arab Druze soldiers proud to serve in Israel's war • FRANCE 24 English
In the Druze village of Hurfeish, an Arab minority community near Israel's border with Lebanon, mostly women remain after many men had left to join the front lines of war. This community in Galilee, brightly adorned with Israeli and Druze flags, has been flush with patriotic fervour since Hamas militants from Gaza smashed through the militarised border with Israel, about 200 kilometres to the south.

Israeli Druze | Israel Phenomenology | Unpacked
This week on Israel Phenomenology, we’re unpacking the Israeli Druze. This little known community is just one of the various ethnic groups that make up the diverse population of Israel.
The Druze are known for being loyal to whichever country they live in and the Israeli Druze are no exception. Such is the strength of their allegiance that the Druze say they have a blood covenant with the State of Israel.
So how does this community - an Arab-speaking, 1000-year offshoot of Shiite Islam - fit into Israeli society? Why do they serve in the Israeli army in higher numbers than Jewish Israelis? And just what does the controversial Nation-State Bill mean for them?

The Secret Religion of the Druze
Who are the Druze?: Inside Israel's Most Secretive Religion: https://youtu.be/Bdzr8tUs6Tg
The Druze are a unique religious and ethnic group who have been living in the Middle East for nearly a thousand years, with around a million adherents today living primarily in Lebanon, Syria, Israel and Jordan.
According to the consensus of historians, the Druze religion dates back to the 11th century where it emerged from Ismaili Islam, with the formation of a fascinating syncretic, esoteric, mystical theology - a secretive, unitive philosophy blending Islamic monotheism with Persian and Iranian Gnosticism, Indian mysticism, Jewish and Christian scripture and spirituality, and classic Greek philosophy.

Who are the Druze?: Inside Israel's Most Secretive Religion: https://youtu.be/Bdzr8tUs6Tg
The Druze are a unique religious and ethnic group who have been living in the Middle East for nearly a thousand years, with around a million adherents today living primarily in Lebanon, Syria, Israel and Jordan.
According to the consensus of historians, the Druze religion dates back to the 11th century where it emerged from Ismaili Islam, with the formation of a fascinating syncretic, esoteric, mystical theology - a secretive, unitive philosophy blending Islamic monotheism with Persian and Iranian Gnosticism, Indian mysticism, Jewish and Christian scripture and spirituality, and classic Greek philosophy.
As with many esoteric traditions, the Druze consider their origins to go well before 11th century Islam, claiming hidden roots that go all the way back to the mystery religions and mystical traditions of ancient Babylon, Greece and Egypt, the cradles of western culture, philosophy and mysticism.
Since the year 1043 the community has closed its doors to outsiders, refusing to accept any new converts to the religions. Much of the Druze tradition is kept secret, even from those within community itself that haven’t been initiated into the secrets of the tradition. With only those who elect and are accepted to be “in the know,” being able to participate fully in the religion and gaining access to the secret teachings of their sacred scriptures, The Epistles of Wisdom, the Kitab al-Hikmah.
The central mystical doctrine of Druze faith is the Islamic belief in tawhid, the unity and oneness of God, on steroids, reading its secret meaning, the hidden of the hidden, batin al batin, as a quest for mystical union with the One. And in that vein the Druze actually prefer not to call themselves Druze, a name which goes back to the 11th century preacher Ad-Darazi, whom the Druze consider a heretic, but prefer to call themselves موحدّون دروز al-Muwaḥḥidūn, the unitarians, the unifiers, one even might say, Seekers of Unity ;)
Join us next week as we explore the mysteries of this incredible tradition and try find someone in the know who might even be willing to share a few of their secrets
