Jews and Druze: Quote: "The Druze provide a model of compromise and agreement for all the ethnic groups in the Middle East by keeping to themselves, preserving their own special identity, and earning and maintaining the respect and support of their neighbors. All other religious, linguistic, and ethnic groups, major and minor, powerful and weak, could be held in the esteem of all, protected and honored as are the Druze in their homeland in the Levant. The Druze of Israel, Lebanon, and Syria get along very well with their neighbors because nobody has ever been able to tell the Druze what to do. The Turks and the French exploited the people of the Levant, but they did not conquer the Druze. They kept them at arm's length, as do the governments in those countries today. There is something special about the Druze." Link
monochrom is an art-technology-philosophy group having its seat in Vienna and Zeta Draconis. monochrom is an unpeculiar mixture of proto-aesthetic fringe work, pop attitude, subcultural science, context hacking and political activism. Our mission is conducted everywhere, but first and foremost in culture-archeological digs into the seats (and pockets) of ideology and entertainment. monochrom has existed in this (and almost every other) form since 1993.
