 Arab Nationalism: Is it Obsolete?
Arab nationalism promoted social unity because its message reinforced the religious and cultural values of the common people, assuring them of the worth of their heritage, their brotherhood, and their destiny as a community in the face of foreign domination.
All of this message was strengthened by a certain political belief, shared between Arab nationalists and western liberals, that the political conflicts-over Palestine, imperialism, revolution, and the rest were merely manifestations of a temporary and unnecessary historical phase resulting from the shortsightedness or arrogance of certain western statesmen, not from a clash of real interests.
It was thanks to the Arab nationalist movement that something of this belief was absorbed also at the mass level, so that the masses, who themselves shared very little of the experience of the educated classes, generally accepted the evolution of those classes and their secular life-styles quite smoothly.

Arab spokesmen invariably protest that their quarrel is not with the Jews, but with Zionism, using code-words not readily understood in the West like: “Jewish” means tolerance toward the "natural" condition of that people, as a protected minority; "Zionist" means the intolerable quality of Jewish sovereignty, while “Israeli” is not utterly unacceptable, if "de-Zionised,” i.e.
Indeed, Arabs appear genuinely puzzled that the Jews should act so totally out of character and issued a warning that their toleration as minorities around the world is jeopardized by the insistence of constituting the majority in one country, Israel.
