M of A - Syria: The Druze Are Not Joining The Opposition
A just published Washington Post piece claims:
 Syria’s Druze minority is shifting its support to the opposition.
Its evidence for the alleged shift is ... solely from the insurgency side:
Members of Syria’s Druze community, a small but significant religious minority, are joining the opposition in bigger numbers, ramping up pressure on the beleaguered government of President Bashar al-Assad, according to opposition activists and rebel military commanders.
There is no evidence in the whole piece of a shift in the Druze community but those not-verifiable self-serving insurgency claims. A real highlight is this paragraph:
Yet there is now even a Druze-dominated unit of rebel fighters, the Bani Maarouf battalion, operating in the Damascus suburbs, including Jaramana, which was formed in late December.
That link goes to video that shows a group of 30 men proclaiming to be some new unit. Why is the reporter calling this a "battalion". Thirty men are a small platoon. There are three or four platoons to a company and four or five companies make up a battalion. That is the about the same in every army of this world. Why is a Washington Post reporter writing about a "battalion" when that "battalion" doesn't even have 5% of the nominal size of a real on? And how does he know that these are indeed Druze?There are thousands of such videos of such groups, often multiple ones of the ever same folks and their sole purpose is exaggerate the size of the insurgency. They are sheer propaganda. The one the WaPo reporter chose is especially ridiculous. Take a look at this gun that one of the guys holds.

Those "Druze" must have v_e_r_y long arms if they can fire weapons with such shoulder stocks.Thet WaPo piece's claim of Druze joining those insurgents is just as much propaganda as the one that claimed the Druze are joining the opposition in March 2012 and the one that claimed so in July 2012 and the one that claimed so a month ago.All of these piece are based on insurgency sources and all of them are false. The Druze know very well that they, as a religious minority, would be in much more trouble should the insurgency win then they have ever been and ever will be under Bashar al-Assad.Indeed instead of more people joining the opposition we see the opposition falling apart. Not only the exile opposition which never manages to unite, but also on the ground. This video shows a brawl between Free Syrian Army and Jabhat al-Nusra protesters in Idleb with the Nusra supporters tearing up FSA flags.As their situation on the ground worsens we are likely to see more such fights, even deadly ones, between those various opposition groups.
[ED NOTES:'''' Those "Druze" must have v_e_r_y long arms if they can fire weapons with such shoulder stocks.'' LMAOOO ayoob kara the lunatic likudnik druze leader in israhell has indeed been attempting to sway the syrian druze community to oppose Assad..hes even gone as far as lying claiming the druze syrian community is ready to accept israhelli citizenship and annexation of  golan to the zionist colonial entity lol
