Israel's Beloved Druzim

(IsraelNN.com) MK Aryeh Eldad (National Union) attacked the Israeli media Wednesday for downplaying a violent attack Tuesday by Druze hooligans against the police station in Usfiyeh, on mount Carmel.

“Yesterday, fire bombs were thrown at the police station in Usfiyeh and the station was closed down for renovation,” he said. “The background is that arrest warrants were issued to two residents of Beit Jan who carried out construction within the boundaries of the nature reserve. Imagine that settlers or hareidis would burn down a police station. What would happen in the media? ....More Israel News

Commentary: Another example of Israel's beloved Druzim showing their true faces. Eldad is absolutely correct. The media barely touched this story. Druzim burned a police station to the ground in Usfiyeh. You think this would constitute a story of interest? Not in Israel, where the left-wing media is committed to perpetuating fairytales. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. "Settlers" are violent and racist. So are chareidim. The Bedouin and Druzim are loyal citizens. Education will make the Israeli-Arabs happy. Territorial concession will bring peace. Abbas is a moderate. In Israel, the Druzim are above reproach. Even those who question the loyalty of Bedouins, often defend Druzim to the ends of the earth. They close their eyes to the increasing radicalization of the younger Druzim, who have no desire to be "house Druzim" in a Jewish state. The charade of covering up all evidence of Druze violence is part of the sick galuti need to have at least one group to show the world (and themselves) "that some of them like us." And it works. Every time Druzim act up, the idiots in our midst (comprised of a motley crew of left-wingers, respectable Likudniks, mamlachtim, hesder types, etc.) have an explanation. "Oh those Druze are different. Only a small group up North think that way. Most serve in the army and vote Likud." Lucky for us. Maybe they'll join Manhigut Yehudit.
