Part 7/9:
The community in Syria, approximately 700,000 strong, often resides near border areas where they are vulnerable to violence and repression by the Syrian military. The speaker argued that Israeli military actions are, in part, attempts to prevent massacres and violence against these communities, framing these strikes as protective measures rather than provocations.
Furthermore, the discussion drew a sharp line against those who criticize Israel’s military activities by suggesting that such criticism is rooted in antisemitism, implying that the lives and safety of Druze minorities are being unjustly dismissed or overlooked.
