Following the attack the Druze city of Majdal Shams, we are re-releasing our episode about the Israeli Druze community.

The Druze are a tiny minority in the Jewish state, and the only community to share a so-called “Blood Covenant” with Israel’s Jews. But in 2018, the Israeli government passed a controversial Basic Law, known as the Nation-State Law, that threatened to upend this status quo. 

So who are the Druze? What is the Nation State Law? And what responsibility does Israel owe to its minority populations? Especially during these turbulent times?
