On the other hand, who were they Jews supposed to be loyal to since there were so many competing groups there? Loyal to the Maronites, the Sunnis, the Druze, the Shiites? To which one of those groups that were often enough in conflict with each other?Eliyahu m'Tsiyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973268399414290195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-89109817922051327112010-10-10T23:14:04.532+01:002010-10-10T23:14:04.532+01:00"...loyalty to whom?..."
