IIRC, some Arabs are loyal to Israel - the Druze in particular tend to vote Likud, join the IDF, and soldier very hard. The problem seems to primarily with the Muslim Arabs and their dhimmis.

More information welcome.

Hi..Slings and Arrows,

Yes...You are right, I'm sorry, I totally forgot about the Druze and their very Real Loyality to Israel.

They are a one of a kind people and hold to old Arab views.

Funny story...When I was in ISRAEL in 1989, our tour group traveled through a Druze village, the people were very nice.

The men were wearing baggy pants that had a special "Messiah" pouch in the front...just In Case they were Chosen to give Birth to the "Messiah".

They had regular housing and buildings, their places were kept neat and clean, however, on the outskirts of their town we saw about a dozen Tents...with Satellite Dishes and Antennae on the top of the Tents...ahhh...The Ancient meets Modernity!

May G-d Bless the Druze People.
