Full members of society you say. What's the highest rank any of them have achieved in the IDF?

  If we're counting Druze, Major General. If not Colonel. How much of that is due to prejudice and how much is due to Muslims generally not joining the military is a question I can't answer.

    Huh interesting. My understanding (from conversation with some Israelis) was that Arabs were not drafted as the rest of the population are. Obviously they were mistaken though.

      Non-Druze Arabs aren't conscripted, however a small number volunteer every year.

        Ah ok, thanks for the education. I guess that's really where I was coming from. I get the complexities, but it's hard to see another democratic state having such policies.
