How about Jerusalem being in Heaven? We are often in a position of being between a rock and a hard place. Druze leader Walid Jumblatt wondered in 2009 "The Maronites and Druze have become the red Indians of Lebanon. One of the conflicts we have is how we are seen by Druse in Syria and Lebanon, who are loyal to the countries they live in. The Druze, more dispersed and customarily more cautious, are awaiting their turn. Halabi went missing in May 2005 while returning to his base near Haifa. Hell is the bitter feeling of being deprived endlessly of the glorious presence of the Almighty. In the Western world, the obsolescent nation-state is being superseded by supra-national regional confederations, like the European Union.

Halabi came from the village of Daliyat al-Karmel and his uncle had served as a colonel in the IDF. Being a Druze, Halabi was conscripted into the IDF.
