Arab nationalism, which became "anti-imperialist" after 1920, became
"revolutionary" after 1948. The Palestine war had demonstrated that the Arabs,
despite their formal independence, remained politically disunited, militarily
weak, and economically underdeveloped. The failure could still be blamed on
imperialism, and much Arab nationalist thought went into drawing images of a
global conspiracy, which allegedly implanted Israel to assure the West's
continuing domination of the Arabs. But some intellectuals also began to
suggest the existence of intrinsic weaknesses in Arab culture and society,
arguing that these had made the task of the Zionists easier. The new champions
of Arab nationalism, fiery young colonels, now promised a social revolution
that would overcome these weaknesses and propel the Arab world to unity,
power, and prosperity. In the spirit of the times, they usually defined this
revolution as socialism — or, more precisely, Arab socialism, lest it be
alleged that the changes were not authentically Arab in inspiration. Arab
nationalism no longer meant only literary revival and anti-imperialism. It
meant land reform, extensive nationalization, and five-year plans, all in the
name of "the revolution." And if, in their new lexicon, Arab nationalists cast
themselves as "revolutionaries," then their opponents could only be
"reactionaries."

Tak to wyglądało w latach 50tych...
Z jednej strony obwinianie "zachodnich imperialistów" o zacofanie i biedę i
oskarżanie ich o wykorzystywanie Izraela jako gwaranta zachodniej dominacji, z
drugiej strony arabski "narodowy socjalizm" oparty na pięciolatkach..
Nic dziwnego, że tacy ludzie jak Krystek maszerowali z napisami "Syjoniści do
syjonu", gdy Arabowie na własne życzenie dostawali cięgi od Izraela ;)
