Hosting ‪@MrSachback‬The Druze community are a cherished part of Israel’s cultural mosaic, but ultimately difficult to pin down. A religion that splintered from Islam. An ethnic community that crosses borders but never defined itself as a modern nation. An Arabic speaking minority and some of Israel’s biggest patriots. • Mansur Ashkar, a Druze native of Israel. He served as an officer in the IDF’s special forces and was stationed in Gaza before the disengagement. Growing up in a predominantly Jewish town, Mansur’s family roots trace back across the borders of Syria, Lebanon, and Israel. Believing the Jews the Druze are the prime example that Israel aspires for peace and coexistence. Mansur advocates for Israel and the Jewish community, striving to foster coexistence between Jews and Arabs and amplify Arab voices in support of Israel. • • Co-Creator and Host - Eylon Levy • Co-Creator and Creative Director - Guy Ross • Executive Producer - Asher Westropp-Evans • Director - Lotem Segev • Graphics/Assistant Director - Thomas Girsch • Assistant Director - Benny Goldman • Researcher - Dan Dimendberg • 0:00 - Coming Up • 1:05 - Monologue • 2:29 - Main Titles • 2:45 - Introduction • 3:33 - Who are the Israeli Druze • 10:52 - Natural Allies • 20:30 - Are You a Zionist? • 25:00 - Druze in Israel vs Syria Lebanon • 29:00 - Golan Heights Druze • 34:47 - Maj’d Al Shams Attack • 39:00 - Model Coexistence • 41:30 - The Middle-East Mentality • 47:54 - Confronting Iran and “Westsplaining” • 54:30 - Mansur’s Connection to Gaza • 1:00:00 - Druze Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
