I've Been Thinking:
A small group of Druze living in the Israeli Golan Heights went to the border with Syria. Once at the
border the used their megaphones to call to their relatives on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights.
The Druze contingent brought pictures of Syrian President Assad and posters showing their support for the Assad regime.
This village the Druze chose for their demonstration is named Majd Al Shams. It is the shouting mountain on the border, the place where Druze come and speak to relatives on the other side of the border.
Druze, by religious doctrine, are loyal to their local state. It is very unusual to have a Druze community in Israel showing support for a leader from another country.
