Israeli Druse Concerned about Brethren in Syria
(Jerusalem Post) Ariel Ben Solomon - "We are worried about the Syrian Druse and demand that the world not stand by and do nothing," Druse and Circassian Local Councils Forum head Jaber Hamoud said Thursday. Hamoud, who served 25 years in the IDF, said that if the world would arm the Druse, they would be able to defend themselves and help prevent Islamic State from reaching Israel and Jordan. "The Druse love peace, but they know how to defend themselves. They need the means, not knives and axes," he added. President Assad's forces are weakening in Druse areas, Israel Channel 1 TV reported this week.
