Why do they get along with Israelis so well?
Some of them don't even identify as arabs, and most Israeli Druze identify as Israeli rather than palestinian.
They also volunteered since 1948 to serve in the Israeli army, and at their request their community now has mandatory military service just like the Israeli Jews.
There are also Druze in Likud. Ayoob Kara and Salah Tarif for example.
Whats the deal with all this? Is there some special history between jews and druze or something?
