This essay is on and from an article in Wikipedia, entitled The
Wiki Pan - Arabism page
http://geocities.com/masteringwiki/PanArabism.html.
It presents data on
historical and present-day bigoted Arabism. Find it at
http://geocities.com/masteringwiki/PanArabism.html
Much of this essay comes from "The Wikipedia Pan-Arabism page"
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2080752/posts[1]
and "The wiki Pan-Arabism page" from
http://geocities.com/masteringwiki/[2]
Afterwards, I found and have used:
http://geocities.com/masteringwiki/Wiki-Arabism.html.
The original articles tended to start in the middle so the issues were not obvious to readers not tuned into the general area. So I have rearranged some of the material. I also cleaned up some non-sentences and typos.
I am grateful to the unidentified people who developed this article -- in particular to the person who provided the footnotes. Thanks are also due to American1627 who sent Think-Israel the article.
THE INITIAL ARGUMENT: (Author Unknown)
In the Presentation below, EDITOR refers to the Wikipedia editor.
RESPONSE is the objection/retort from a reader. My glosses are
in square brackets and labeled BSL.
Look up Pan-Arabism and Arabization in Wikipedia and you will find this sanitized definition at its start.
WIKI: Pan-Arabism and Arabization - a movement for unification among the peoples and countries of the Arab World, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Arabian Sea. It is closely connected to Arab nationalism which asserts that the Arabs constitute a single nation. At times Pan-Arabism has tended to be secular and often socialist, but often it embeds within it Islamic tradition and culture or Islamism (like the genocide in Darfur). and has strongly opposed colonialism and Western political involvement in the Arab world. Pan-Arabism is a form of cultural nationalism.
RESPONSE: There's a strong argument that Arabism was never detached from Islamism, To this day, Islam has retained its imperial ambitions. The dream of regional and world domination has remained very much alive, despite the destruction long ago of the last great Muslim empire, which has left the Islamic caliphate vacant. The 20th century doctrine of pan-Arabism (exemplified by Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser), though secular in appearance, has been effectively Islamic in its ethos, worldview, and imperialist vision.
In Stephen Kramer's very readable article,
[http://www.jewishtimes-sj.com/news/2008/0815/columns/018.html] Efraim
Karsh quotes Nuri Said, longtime prime minister of Iraq and a
prominent early champion of pan-Arabism: "Although Arabs are naturally
attached to their native land, their nationalism is not confined by
boundaries. It is an aspiration to restore the great tolerant
civilization of the early caliphate."

Also read about the historic Arabizing of the middle east

process is still going on today

Arab%20racism%20in%20Black%20Africa%20&cpdate=010408].
Pan-Arabism is a form of nationalism and cultural nationalism.
See especially Andrew Bostom's book, The Legacy of Jihad.
In the words of political science professor Adeed Dawisha, pan-Arabism at its inception was deeply influenced by European fascism, with the result that "Arab nationalists, infused with the illiberal ideas of cultural nationalism, had almost nothing to say about personal liberty and freedom." Thus, in keeping with his pan-Arab beliefs, Maksoud has apologized or excused the excesses of assorted Arab tyrannies. [http://www.campus-watch.org/article/id/1308].
WIKI: An Arabist can be referred to someone that is well knowlodgeable[sic] of Arab culture and nationality but can also be referred to a radical nationalist anti non-Arab.
RESPONSE: As an ultra nationalist ideology it has been embedded with bigotry in its roots and in its motivated action.

different Wikipedia pages. I checked some of them -- which let to

RE: The terrible censorship and abuse of the bigoted Islamic administrator: "khoikhoi"
"I suggest you take a look at http://geocities.com/masteringwiki (it has been said that it all has been saved on various other pages online as well) and see the horrific behavior of wikipedia's "khoikhoi" as he banned users [that tried to post about the radical Arabism's racism on the "Pan-Arabism" page, with cited sources, like Arabism's main leader: Egypt's Nasser adopting racism from Hitler, etc.] under a guise that they are 'sockpuppets'. Truth to be told, the info the users have posted is all available online free and open to anyone. If Wikipedia is to be really fair, blocking various people just because they all saw the information is an outrageous act, all users should be reinstated and this Khoikhoi should NOT be allowed to be continued on Wiki at all, as his abuse is over the top already."
Responsibility for the Wikipedia page
A Turkish or Kurd named 'KhoiKhoi'. If Khoikhoi is a Kurd, he should know better after Saddam's Arabist anti-Kurd genocide campaign or in light of Syrian anti-Kurdish policy) have been "objecting" the "relativity" of Arab racism in wikipedia's 'Pan-Arabism'. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan-Arabism]
(There's also a bias tendency on some at the Wikipedia "administrator" [Khoikhoi] to block certain users under a cover of baseless "charge" of sockpuppet-ing, no, not when it comes to anti Jewish racist editors......, as of Sep. 21 2008, the Islamic bigot: Khoikhoi has managed to block several users under a guise that they are all "sockpuppets' when we all know that I distribute the info online for ALL to see and copy & paste it freely).
EDITOR: Well, here we reiterate it again, I am the editor and I distribute it to others [free to use it] who might use wikipedia [fighting unfairness & bias.
RESPONSE: Well, here are a few points about the undisputable connection.
An important point, the POV push by some on Wikipedia that Arabism is 'only' secular is totally wrong, historically or present, though not always is it 'religious' either, but there have been Islamism & Arabism connection since the beginning, and still going on today.
There is also an objection to the entry by a Jordanian Arab
A Jordanian Arab 'Contrieng'. Somehow he has no idea about history. The 1800's & 1900's attacks on Jews by Arabism 'nationalism' are long before any lame excuses connecting them to the M.E. conflict. Other gross misinformation tries to alter PEW's polling that shows anti-Jewish racism among Jordanian Arabs, where 100% viewed ANY Jews unfavorably. He tries to blame the 'anti-zionist-occupation'.
The Arab Contrieng's "objection" was mainly against Arabism's anti-Jewish section, which of course only reaffirms Arab racism by staunch Pro-Arabism.

'Arabism Equals Racism', in an elaborated article, Gerald A.
Honigman writes on the "acceptance of anyone else's political rights
in a multi-ethnic region that most Arabs see exclusively as "purely
Arab patrimony." That's the Arab-Israel conflict in a nutshell; but it
is also the core of the Arab-Berber, Arab-Kurd, Arab-Black African,
Arab-Copt, Arab-Assyrian, Arab-non-Arab Lebanese conflicts, as well,
among others. The Arabs' Anfal Campaign against the Kurds and their
actions in Darfur and the rest of the southern Sudan are just a few of
many examples of Arab genocidal actions against all who might
disagree."
Walid Phares writes about Arabism's denial of identity of millions
of indigenous non-Arab nations as an ethnic cleansing on a
politico-cultural level
Christians of Iraq site published an extensive historic account on
"The Foolishness of imposing Oppressive Arab Nationalism on Non Arabs,
Non-Arab Muslim minorities such as the Amazigh, or Berbers, Kurds, and
Turkmen found themselves officially out of favor. They faced the
prospect of becoming "Arabized" or of being denied political and even
civil rights. Groups that identified themselves as neither Arab nor
Muslim had it even worse: Southern Sudanese, Copts, Jews, and
Assyrians were plunged into a protracted nightmare that saw their
communities ground into anonymity, forcing many to emigrate
permanently. Even Maronites, whose retention of political power in
Lebanon immunized them from utter marginalization, watched with alarm
as Arab nationalist propaganda increasingly portrayed them as a
foreign and sinister element in the heart of the Arab nation."
Adel Makhoul wrote in May 1, 2005 about Pan-Arabists: Hiding Arab
Racism, that they're agents of racism: Arab Racism, that always
supported Arab unity and "Islam" at the expense of non-Arab and
non-Moslem peoples and tries to deflect the world's attention from
Arab and Moslem attrocities committed against Christians, Kurds, Jews,
Israelis, Coptic Christians, non-Arab Sudanese, etc. he also points to
the fact that Sadam Hussein's poisoning of the Kurds has never been
condemned by one Arab intellectual or leader. This is because a racist
prevalent attitude in the Arab mind is that the entire Middle East
should be Arab. This also explains the attitude towards Israel, a
country that is predominantly non-Moslem and speaks a Middle Eastern
language other than Arabic.[7

ROOTS AND CAUSE OF MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT
'Historical and Investigative Research' examines if Arab
anti-Jewish racism in the first half of the 20th c. (that was marked
already then with slaughtering of Jews with the racist shouting of
Itbach al Yahud - kill the Jews) was fundamentally different
from the European variety [36
Pundits explain that the conflict in the middle east Arabs Vs
Israel (that started with racist massacers on Jews accompanied with
the slogan "Itbach al Yahud - Kill the Jews" And even progressive, left wingers in Israel realize that Arab
racism must go, and that "There will be no peace around here
before Arabs view Jews as human beings."

On anti-Jewish racism's effect on clarity of the Middle East,
Interfaith Office Acknowledges (May 2008) Anti-Jewish Motifs and
Stereotypes in Commentary About Arab-Israeli Conflict
There's extensive research on ' Palestinian Anti-Semitism'
[http://www.israel-wat.com/y7_eng.htm], In its official media, the PA
daily described: The Fable of the Holocaust
[http://www.pmw.org.il/advisory-190401.html], the JCPA elaborates
About Anti-Semitism among Palestinian Authority Academics and how The
Palestinian Authority's academic anti-Semitism has built an extensive
case against Jewish existence
Rachel Neuwirth Wrote "Judenrein Palestine?" about Arabs forcing
Israel to remove Jews from their historic Judea and asks: Why can't
Jews live in their historic homeland if there really is peace? After
all, there are 1.2 million Arabs living as citizens of Israel in the
one Jewish country in the world, while there are only a handful of
Jews living in any of the 22 Arab countries. In fact, in Jordan and
Saudi Arabia, not only is it illegal for Jews to be citizens, they are
not even allowed to live there. Therefore, she proves, instead of
Israel being the "apartheid state" in the region, it is the Arab
world that is not only apartheid, but also racist and religiously
exclusive" [http://www.betar.co.uk/articles/betar1073431322.php].
AGAINST JEWS
Pan-Arabism's anti-Jewish ideology
The champion of pan-Arabism, Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser, used the
infamous anti-Semitic Protocols of the Elders of Zion libel in
his war against Israel. [http://www.newstatesman.com/200212020013]
Both pan-Arabism and pan-Islamic ideologies looked to Hitler's Germany
as a model Haj Amin al-Husseini expressed his admiration for the way
'the Germans have definitively solved the Jewish problem,' [30
http://www.science.co.il/arab-israeli-conflict/Articles/Ettinger-2003-08-16.asp]
& Gamal Abdel Nasser's affinity for the Mufti was great [31
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/946831.html],
Joachim Wurst describes the emergence and psychological mechanisms of
modern anti-Semitism and particularly of genocidal Islamist
anti-Semitism. He traces the development of this trend from the Muslim
Brotherhood and the Mufti of Jerusalem in the 1930s and 1940s through
the pan-Arabism of the 1950s and 1960s up to the present-day Islamism.

1800's & 1920's.
The origin of anti-Jewish feelings among Arabs do not originate
from what they preceive as 'the occupation of Palestine' and the
creation of Israel. Even before the creation of the Israeli state in
1948 on what was previously part of the Syrian segment of the Ottoman
Empire -- a largely uninhabited terrain -- many Jews were recorded
attacked in various settlements by Arabs since the late 1800's [33
http://www.ou.org/about/judaism/bhyom/mar.htm.
The first recorded Arab attack on Jews in Palestine was back in
1886 in Petach Tikva

Racism in Arabism was already strong in the 1920's, Dr. Kaveh
Farrokh explains that to understand the awkwardness (and indeed
irrationality) of pan-Arabism (or any form of racialism), one is
compelled to also briefly learn about the true founders of the B'aath
party: Michel Aflaq and Salah al-Din al-Bitar. Both were born in
Damascus, they formed their party on the basis of pan-Arabism, like
the movements that had taken place in neighboring Iraq in the 1920s.
Another influential and French (Sorbonne) educated Syrian, was Zaki
al-Arsuzi. Al-Arsuzi was especially outspoken in his racism against
the local Turks of Syria and especially venomous in his hatred against
the Jews. [34 [http://www.venusproject.com/ecs/aFarrokhArab.html] He
proves that Pan-Arabism is an extremely racist and chauvenistic
movement on par with Nazism, whose ideology is anti-western,
anti-Jewish and anti-Persian.

Current Middle-Eastern Racism against Jews
On Syria's Baathism's racism [38
http://www.michaeltotten.com/archives/000779.html] Major ideas of
Baathism center around racism and anti-Semitism. The Baath party stems
from the Pan-Arab movement [39
[http://www.jamestown.org/terrorism/news/article.php?issue_id=2878],
examples: Syrian Daily Al Baath, October 21, 1998 had an antisemitic
cartoon, and on October 21, 1998 on Syrian TV: In these days, all of
us, Arabs and Muslims, must stand together against the Jews [40
[http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/anti-semitism/syrmedia.html].
Egypt has played the gross anti-Jewish TV extravaganza "Horse
without Horseman" which also portrays the Arab/Israeli conflict in an
antisemitic anti-Jewish format [41
http://www.debka.com/article.php?aid=191]. So do the anti-Jewish
themes in Hezbollah Media. [42

French Jew, Ilan Halimi, was found naked, tortured and covered in
burns near Paris on February 13, 2006, after being held captive for

France and raised fears of surging anti-Semitism among French Muslims.
In February of this year, another Jewish teenager was tortured in the
same town in which Halimi was killed, in yet another anti-Semitic
attack. [http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/995088.html].

Dr Kaveh Farrokh wrote a must-read historic account, "Pan-Arabism's
Legacy of Confrontation with Iran," which centers on Arab racism
against Iranians.[http://www.venusproject.com/ecs/aFarrokhArab.html
and also in
http://www.iran-heritage.org/interestgroups/history-article2.htm], It
points out that it was in Saddam Hussein's Iraq that Arab racism
attained its most vulgar form, truly on par with the neo-Nazi
philosophies of today's white supremacists. "...the (Saddam)
government offered 'pure Iraqis' married to anyone with Iranian blood
$2500 reward for anyone divorcing them" Farrokh notes that "Negative
portrayals of Iranians continue to appear today in Arab media and
education: the recent caricature portrayal of Iranians by the
Al-Jazeera Television network is one recent example that is truly
lamentable. Arabs have complained (with justification) that they are
portrayed negatively in western press, media and education, yet so
many in the Arab world are unaware of the Husri-Shawkat-Aflaq legacy
of racism within their own ranks." The Arabization of Persian
contributions was strong by the 1960s. Farrokh also points out the
amateur scholarship of such writers as Fareed Zakaria, who, because of
their access today to the print media and T.V., can spread
unchallenged misinformation.
