Abstract
By the summer of 1949, in the aftermath of the war, the Palestinians faced a crisis. Many Muslims and a significant number of Christians had lost their homes and their land and had sought refuge in neighbouring Arab states. In contrast, the Palestinian Druze, having allied themselves with the Jewish side, retained possession of their homes and most of their land and some were even serving in the Israel Defence Forces.
