External enablers—most notably Qatari financiers and Turkish-backed proxy militias—have enabled these crimes, with their influence and funding fueling ongoing atrocities throughout the Middle East
I spent time with Druze people in both eastern and western Galilee years ago. One experience was the honor to be welcomed at a Druze wedding. The groom had been in the army with our kibbutz friend. He asked if his American friends might attend and they warmly said yes. In the other situation, Druze IDF commandos who lived in a nearby village were official security for our smaller second kibbutz as near to the danger of western Lebanon as you can get. One of my jobs was to serve them lunch in the quiet hour after kibbutzniks ate and returned to the fields. In both instances my time with the Druze of Israel is precious. Druze faith requires loyalty to the nation in which they live. That, however, is intended to be mutual. Syrian Druze now have little reason to love Syria and hasn’t for a long time. Druze in eastern Israel and western Syria (and Golan) are very much cousins. There is a second loyalty to each other. Thus Israel has a role due to its mutual loyalty to and love for the Druze. shalom / salaam

Coverage of the Suwayda conflict has also been incredibly one sided when in all three: AlHajri the Bedouin and Sharra forces have committed pure evil
