Druze and Judaism:

🛡️ The Druze venerate many Jewish prophets, especially Seth, Job, Joseph, David, Elijah, Ezekiel, Joshua, and highlight Jethro as the Universal Mind.
🛡️ The Torah is a holy book to the Druze. The Jews are seen as the faithful carriers of Moses's creed.

🛡️ The six pointed star is very important to the Druze as well, however they've gotten it from pre-Judaic sources, such as Alchemy and Hermetica. And is often inscribed by a circle and meant to symbolize the union of opposites and the separation of pairs. And not merely Solomon.

🛡️ Druze shrines in Carmel and Galilee echo the ancient Jewish shrine tradition, i.e. natural stone mound. Some are architecturally Jewish tombs, with descending staircases into caves.
🛡️ A Sheikh's striped cloak and the multicolored flag are said to be from the cloak of Joseph.

🛡️ Esoteric Judaism, or Kabballah, is most similar to Druze esotericism. Especially in its Neoplatonism, Gematria, Belief in Reincarnation(gilgul),
🛡️The Hasidic sect also stresses on Ascetism. Their highest soul Yechidah is akin to Tawheed. Also Batin Al Batin, their Chassidut.

🛡️ Druze and Jews have lived relatively harmoniously with circumstantial conflicts like the Safed Rebellion being exceptions.
🛡️ Jews in Druze areas were among the nobles in Fakhreddin's entourage. Their Synagogues thrived in Bhamdoun, Aleyh without persecution.

🛡️ Jewish communities in Deir al Qamar and Barouk were also rich land owners.
🛡️ The "blood bond" between Jews and Druze of Israel is one of the strongest the Druze have done with any another sect. Has been strong for 70 years. Agreed to regardless if one is Zionist or not.

🛡️ Druze have no occupied territory in Israel, or any encroached on Holy Land or Site.
Therefore enmity to the Jews is not justified except on Islamist grounds or leftist brainwashing.
Israeli Druze are much better off socially and economically than their peers in Arab countries

🛡 The Druze ultimately derive their idea of the Messiah from the Jews and also the Messianic Era. Psalm 37's "The meek will inherit the Earth".
Therefore they've avoided belief in Heaven and Hell, and taken a reward/punishment in this realm approach, similar to Jews.
