Druze protests against the Occupation

Civil protests directed by the Druze of Palestine to the leaders and representatives of the colony in its celebrations on the day of its declaration, on its independence day, on the day of its occupation of Palestine.

The Druze of Palestine, Deputy Minister Gila Jamalil, prevented her from entering a cemetery for the Druze soldiers who fell in the wars, considering them to be soldiers whose law imposes compulsory service on Druze youth in the colony's army.

At the height of their protests, in the face of Likud MP Gamliel, one of the Druze men said:

"The Druze arose from birth without hummus, because of the policy of this "state", and they sacrificed the lives of their youth to defend the "state", because they are covered by the compulsory conscription law, just like the Jews as citizens, but the "national law" that was drafted by the Israeli parliament, the Knesset and enacted on 7/19 / 2018, by a majority of 62 votes and 55 opposed it, this law, which affirmed the “Jewishness of the state” excluded the Druze from equal citizenship rights with the Jews.

That is why, as another Druze said: “The Druze prevented the minister and deputy Gamliel from entering the cemetery, as she came to commemorate the soldiers who fell in Israel’s wars on the occasion of “Independence Day.”

The Arab Druze citizen explained this by saying: "Because she participated in the drafting of the National Law (the law of the Jewishness of the state), which excluded the Druze from the right of citizenship."

One of the Druze sheikhs said: "She has no respect for us. We will not allow her to enter the cemetery. They come to us one day a year, when they remember the Druze. We have more than 500 soldiers killed in the wars of the 'state'." He addressed the Israelis by saying: "Be ashamed of yourself, this It can't happen all over the world, but only here in the State of Israel."

A polite Druze addressed her by saying: "Do a favor, we don't want you here. You are the one who signed the Kamnitz Law, which applies to the Druze by demolishing their homes. You also signed the National Law, which deprives the Druze of citizenship rights, and does not consider us citizens in our country. That is why we do not want you today among us. What are you coming to?" Settle with us."

A fourth Arab Druze said: “I lost my son in the war. We gave everything for this “state” because this is our country, but they betrayed us. We fulfilled all the duties imposed on us as citizens, but the government implemented the “national-state” law, and the Kamenitz law that It states that we are forbidden to build on our land. They took our land and confiscated it, while they allowed the Jews to settle in every location, even in the Palestinian West Bank. There in the West Bank they are allowed to cut down olive trees, and no one punishes them. But on our land in the Carmel and Galilee, they prevent us even though our land is registered in The title deed, however, it is forbidden for us to build on and on it.”

A segment of the components of the Palestinian Arab society in the 48 areas, who are subject to the law of compulsory conscription for the army, but they do not obtain their rights of equal citizenship as the Israeli Jews, which prompted them to show public protest against the policies and dealings of the colonial governments, and these are supposed to be citizens of the "state" who perform the duties of citizenship How is the situation and dealing with the citizens of Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip??.
