Thank you. Very interesting and good material.

You probably used Benny Morris as a source again. That's good too. This is a reason to study his works thoroughly. I value Benny Morris as a source. He reveals a lot and shows many facts that were previously hidden. But I don't trust his conclusions very much and try to check if possible (it's very difficult for me to do this because I don't have the qualifications), but so far I can't say that he is wrong.

Everything that is written is true and it is close to me, because I have many Druze acquaintances, and just from the Galilean Druze, in particular from the villages of Yarka, Kfar Yanukh and Yanukh Jat.

What is written in the last paragraph also describes my opinions about the Israeli Druze. Good relations between the Druze and the Jews are based on the same desire to live on their land and make their lives better. In this, the Druze and the Jews are united, and therefore are ready to defend and develop Israel together. The Druze's understanding that they have a future with the Jews and the Jews' understanding that without the Druze their future will be worse makes this union stronger.

Actually this article isn’t based on Morris but two articles by other historians - Laila Parsons and Yoav Gelber - both of who are mentioned in the article.
