States Within a State: Ultra-Orthodox Jews and the Druze of Israel
In Part Two of my interview with Corey Gil-Shuster, we discuss two unique communities within Israeli society: the Ultra Orthodox Jews, also known as the Haredim, and the Druze, an esoteric ethno-religious community of Israeli Arabs who live in Northern Israel and the occupied Golan Heights.
Recent controversies within Israel regarding the handling of Covid-19 among the Haredim have highlighted how this community often lives a closed lifestyle within wider Israeli society. Meanwhile, the Druze are seen as a bridge between Arab culture and identity and mainstream Israeli society.
Corey describes the Haredi world view and how the Druze have managed to preserve their Arab culture and religious traditions since the tumultuous creation of Israel in 1948.
