And the next time you ponder the concept of Zionism (Jewish nationalism) as a threat, spend a bit of time contemplating exactly how such a belief is a larger threat than Pan-Arabism (of which the Baathist party subscribed)..

The Jews merely wanted to carve out a small homeland so they had a place to go when persecuted in Europe and elsewhere..

Whereas, the Pan-Arabists wish to unite every Arab nation in the region, voluntarily, or through coercion, if necessary.. But it's ok to be an Arabist..

But to be a Zionist, in the minds of most liberals, is comparable to calling oneself an imperialist.

Nasser was a Pan-Arabist.. Hussein considered himself a Pan-Arabist, with delusions of being the next Saladin.. The Saudis, or at least their Wahhabist elements, are Arabists.. seeking to unite all muslims under their religious creed..

But none of these concepts received nearly a fraction of the attention of the Zionist movement..
