Israel’s Non Jewish Protectors
The Givati unit is where most Druse and Beduins serving in infantry go. Druse is a religion that branched off from Islam a thousand years ago; Druse speak Arabic, and have an Arab culture. Their ethnic makeup is varied and complex, and I'm certainly no expert.
That being said, there are over 100,000 Drusim [pronounced droo-zim] living in Israel. Furthermore, being that they are citizens, boys that reach 18 years of age are automatically conscripted into the IDF.
