Why are Israeli Druze protesting over wind turbines?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2024
- Israel's typically peaceful Druze community is protesting. Proposed Golan Heights wind turbines have triggered deeper issues about recognition and respect. The Israeli Druze, a unique religious and ethnic group, have deep ties to the Jewish state.
From the blood covenant formed in 1956 to the controversial nation-state law passed in 2018, the Druze story reveals critical insights into the challenges of maintaining a diverse society. The current unrest isn't just about wind turbines - it's about an ongoing struggle for recognition and fairness in a land they’ve sworn to protect.

I support the Druze in this matter. Israel needs to rectify this mistake.
Hello my friend and thank you for your support.
It would be a tragedy if Netanyahu continues down this path.
What has happened in Israel that the Government feels that they no longer need friends and allies.
So the Druze Police Officer that rushed into the Synagogue to kill the terrorists that were executing praying Parishioners knowing that he would die doing so is swept aside.
I remember at his funeral the Prime Minister declared him a national hero.
I still believe that the majority of Israelis support their Druze brothers and hopefully they will March with them.
Netanyahu should reconsider this approach.
@@kauss-uh3py I agree with everything you just wrote. For what its worth, I believe that the government is wrong on this one and needs to stop. Additionally, I don’t know much about wind farms, but there are some down sides to them. In the final analysis, is installing them worth alienating the Druze community?
@@SydPat we have them in Australia and they’re a disaster. They’re responsible for obliterating bird species over a vast area especially carnivorous birds that farmers rely on to keep pests under control.
They’re next to useless, we here in South Australia have the most expensive electricity costs in the world because our corrupt Government went down the Green path with wind and solar.
A few years ago we had a major blackout because we had too much wind and solar and on a still night when the wind wasn’t blowing our system shut down and couldn’t get restarted for 28 hours and regional areas two weeks.
@@SydPatthey have been on those lands for thousands of years before Israel stole the lands. How dare they touch the men and women of holy religion and the real chosen ones!
Without the Druze, israel would not exist!
@@robray6721 A. Israel didn’t steal the Golan. It was won in a defensive war. It’s not going back for the Syrians to shoot down on Israelis again. B. What thousands of years? The Golan is filled with Jewish artifacts and places in the Golan are mentioned in religious Jevvish texts. C. Be more specific, are you referring to Izz lamb or the Druze religion when you say holy? If it’s the Druze, read my original post as I support the Druze in this matter. If it’s Izz lamb, that’s going to take a day of writing to put you straight. D. Chosen means selected to serve a specific purpose, not the offensive, divisive claim of superiority thatyou use to denigrate Jevvs. Izz lamb on the other hand makes no bones about being superior. E. If you include the Druze in the Golan, then the Druze make up 1.6 percent of the Israeli population. The Druze in the Golan and very few Druze women serve in the military, so the percentage is dramatically reduced. Druze are respected and appreciated in Israel, however their numbers in the military don’t make or break the IDF.
As a jew Israeli, shame on the politicians that voted that law. The Druze community deserves respect, love and consideration. Israelis should come together with our brothers and sister from the Druze community against those miserable politicians.
Respect to the Druze ASAP!!!!
Druze and Jews unite!
Im very right wing but I support the Druze in this issue! My moral values dont let me leave those who stood with us 🇮🇱💪🏽🇸🇨
Safe here!
Very Wise words
the druze are peaceful not hamas pls treat them well
It is interesting to see that the "hassidic jews" receive so many benefits and are not willing to fight for their nation. And these people give their lives and serve the nation and are dealt with as second class citizens... God is JUST, He keeps His agreements and covenants. It seems that the people in power are not real Israelites who uphold the values of the Torah.
In Israel we love the druze ❤
We love all people who are loyal to the State, but, if they want their own country or are more loyal to their Syrian brothers, we must protect the State of Israel first.
@@junaid1either you are with us or against us? These are the chosen ones 😂 the real chosen ones are the Druze and you don’t know the threat they are in from Syria.
But how dare the Israel assault and fire at the Druze holy men and women! Shame on you israel, if those were priest or rabbis their would be no Israel today! Don’t you dare touch the hair on the Druze!!
Druze hate you Palestine from the river to the sea
Really well done!
Thanks a lot!
How many liars are you?
Jewish values require that we treat those who give their lives for the state of Israel be treated as our own family. When Druze know this this Bond this Covenant will be truly two-way. both communities be blessed.
Thank you for this enlightening presentation. I have known about the Druze in Seria and Lebanon, but this video was my first introduction to the Druze of Isreal.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Not good ... druz been great they always been peaceful. They are not hamas ..let them be
I’ve never heard of the Druze having Hindu influence, and also you forgot the Circassians…
Thanks
I believe the druze are actually a split off of Jews not Muslims. Although I think the druze believe they are the original and the Jews broke off of them.
You can watch our video about this: ua-cam.com/video/iDOiNlQENrA/v-deo.html
Oh shit, I love Unpacked, never knew there was a sister channel
Same
There are new very small wind turbines half the size of a small car. Non intrusive.
Protect them they loyal
Israel does protect them. After Hezbollah attacked them in the north and killed 12 children playing soccer and wounded dozens more- they hit Hezbollah and Hamas hard. They are seen an integral part of Israeli society.
its not only about druze its about the Muslims two.
sad
Wind Turbines are HORRIBLE
Israel shhould protect thhe rights of thhe Druze , however, Arabs whho aren't loyal should have affirmative action removed .
Thanks for commenting. How do you propose loyalty should be determined?
I stand with the Druze. I hate those wind turbines.
All dictatorships eventually run out of steam.
That is not true that thy are the only non Jews drafted 80 % of the Russian immigrants are not Jewish al pi halacha so there you have it non Jews other than Druze are drafted into the IDF
The right-wing nature of the Israeli government needs to re-asses the notion of not showing partiality to it's loyal citizens:
Deuteronomy 1:17 (NIV):
"Do not show partiality in judging; hear both small and great alike. Do not be afraid of anyone, for judgment belongs to God. Bring me any case too hard for you, and I will hear it.”
Their real law is thier Talmud. Wake up.
My family saved jews from germans, many gave their live to save their jewish friends but what Netanjahu make out of Israel make me see him as a "good" german. It is a shame that there is no real man under the Sun that could replace him.
Thats just retarded. And not that many Germans helped. Dont lie about history. Netanyahu is a good leader. And he is nothing close to an amalkite german
Netanyahu has been an excellent PM over the years. I wouldn't berate him. He is pulled in many different directions. We did ont know how important these windmills are. Personally, I don't like them.
Well you disobeyed imam A.S after imam Hakim Bi Amr Allah A.S return back to ismailism you will never left alone
End of blood covenant was already about 2000 years ago, as Jesus sacrificed himself as the Lamb of God for our sins. People still not realizing that... sad
amen brother
100% right,,,,, people not believe this,,,,,,,,Abraham Lincoln is descendent is Druze,,,,,
Huh?
you can believe in it but it doesn t mean it s the truth or real
Yes, a Rando broke the covenant. Of course. Man, respecting other religions seems to be hard for the Christians.
Poland is so right.
Someday the Druze will know that them being loyal to Israel will be a huge mistake because in the end, Israel will always put Jewish first above everything. But there is still time for them to join the Palestinian resistance against Israel occupation. Druze, Christian Arabs, Muslim Arabs, Afro-Arabs and Bedouins are one people and should unite for the future of their people.
Lol arab is far worse for them of course jewish forst. But they dont prsecute druze like arab
Wrong !!
Dude the Druze are seen as apostates by Muslims and often targeted for death so good luck with that.
we fought the jews in 1948 the battle of the druze vs jews where the brother of moshe dayan died
then we made peace with them because we realized we were on the wrong side,the druze found out that the muslims lied about what the jews were doing to the arabs only to turn the world against the jews which didnt work
Know ur history then u understand the Druze,,,,,iam a Lebanese maronite,,,,,love and respect the Druze,,,,,,,,they are connect to Jesus Christ
They don’t believe in Christ.
we do@@_Thatmuslimgirl
Israelis love the Druze community....are the corrupted extremists politicians to blame....sorry boaba..Druze, Bedouins, Arabs Muslims and Christian living in Israel are part of the society...They deserve the best. No matter how hard you will scream but no Arabs love Palestinians from gaza and the West Bank...none...ask the Egyptians, Jordanians. The people of Israel love the Druze
@@_Thatmuslimgirl we do
They Believe in Christ and are Great allies
Druze have no relationship with sanatan it is a branch of Islam
Druze is not an ethnicity it’s a religion. And they are Arab.
Levantine Arab
@@daddyshaq-td3kq You know that Druze cannot marry outside, nor can they convert people, they believe in re-birth into their own community only once they die. The religion was established in 10th Century and was only open for 26 years, they have not had any new converts since then. As a result they are considered an ethnicity
@@jabsdrahm.3232 I know who the Druze are, my family used to be originally druze but converted to maronite way before the establisment of your racist settler colonial state. They are clans, but they are still 100% culturally Arab.
