You don’t hear to much or anything in the Americam Press these days about the Druze. Whats their status in the negotiations visa vie the Palestinians? A group who prefer to be called Druze rather than Muslims , is actually an off shoot of Islam in the same way the Mormons Usually refer to to themselves as Mormons than Christians. They served int he Jewish states war of Independence along side oft heir Jewish counterparts and continue to serve thou draftee in the Israeli Army today. They maintain there own courts in many matters ,and more than bone so to speak should been thrown to them when Israel was in Lebanon, a state or some sort or autonomous region should have been pushed for .not to late

I’ve noticed that  in the last 15 years there were new group of barbers, that spoke Russian , looked middle eastern and closed their shop on Rosh Hashana. They are Jewish barbers from the former soviet union , from countries such as Azerbaijan, Bochara.They have technique that’s about the best I”V seen in my 63 yrs.. even the discount barber shops their skill is unbelievable, the best haircut around.I personally go to one in my neighborhood & joke around and ask for ”Jewish Style” and and I get my haircut ( every 2 weeks ) If they here where were they when I was growing up, I suspect that  in the late sixties we may not have a Hippy era and revolt on geting haircuts.end
