My Plan for Arab Nationalism:

1. We need Democracy. Because without democracy and freedom of speech there will be no chance for arab nationalism. You cannot enforce nationalism by force. You must argue to unifie tradionals, religious and nationalists.

2. We do not have to be necessarly have to be one country. But we can merge our countries in smaller ways if it will be the will of the people:

a) Greater Syria (syria, lebannon, iraq, jordan..)

b) Greater egypt

c) maghreb

d) khaligi states

DEMOCRACY AND UNITY FOR ARAB NATIONS is the only way we will succeed.

Richer Arab nations could be doing a hell of a lot more for their Palestinian brothers, especially considering how often they like to highlight the suffering of Palestinians for their own political populairty

(min 37) A rural that denies people freedom can't free another country

Only Palestinians can free their country and the rest of the Arabs can stand in solidarity
