Druse Teenagers Express Their Love for Israel - Across America
(Jerusalem Post) Danielle Ziri - Growing up, Faten Naseralden, Einav Halabi and Marwan Kheir were taught to love the country they were born in and stand up for its right to exist. They are part of a group of seven young Israeli Druse visiting the U.S. on a speaking tour. "We speak Arabic, we can understand the other side, but we see ourselves as Israelis," said Halabi. "If Zionism means to love Israel, to love the Jewish people and to protect the country, then I am the most Zionist of all," Naseralden said. Many of her family members have served in the army and many died in the service of the country. "I told myself that even if I managed to influence only 1% of people, I have completed my mission," she said.
