Israeli Druze feel integrated into Israeli society, but at the same time they also feel alienated due to the “lack of full equity and linguistic-cultural differentiation” ( Nisan). Regardless, the Maghar Druze community living in Israel identifies itself as Israeli rather than Palestinian and even as an Arab nationality. The separation of identity from Arab to Israeli is due to long and violent religious conflicts between Druze and Muslims in Palestine (Nisan). These hate crimes created an obvious transition for the Maghar Druze towards alignment with Israel over neighboring Arab states. More importantly, recruitment into the Israeli army provided the Maghar community with a sense of protection against a common enemy that strengthened the Druze-Israeli identity. Overall, the State of Israel has provided the Maghar Druze with a sense of belonging through citizenship and military service; thus giving them the desire for a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to continue their integration into Israeli society. One possible solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the two-state solution. The two-state solution would become a peace agreement establishing a Palestinian state alongside the current state of Israel (Bourke). According to the Maghar Druze community, peace is the main goal that the two-state solution could provide. As a result, most Israeli Druze would encourage current peace talks with the goal of a two-state agreement. Despite the fact that the two-state solution requires a compromise to which the Palestinians are believed to be unable to adapt. In particular, the Druze Magheri do not believe that the Palestinians will ever be satisfied with a two-state agreement due to the need for retaliation for...... middle of paper ....... The Druze remain pessimistic that Palestinians have the integrity and aspiration to agree on a resolution. Incidentally, the Maghar community is not politically active in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, although it recognizes the Druze community benefits of a solution. Ultimately, the Druze prefer a solution that can best benefit their culture, community and traditions. Israel does not provide a legitimate homeland for the Druze but ultimately provides protection.
