Any Arabic person should say I am an Arab whether his Jordanian, Saudi, Sudanese, Libyan, Algerian, Tunisian, Lebanese. We are one nation - Arabs.. The exception to this rule are the Palestinians because no one wants Palestine as country or as people to exist. We need to make the name last not to minimize it to West Bank, Jerusalem, Gaza, Jericho. It is Palestine.

I didn't suggest they decline I am explaining below why. But I would not mind if all Arabs says they are Palestinians :-) You don't want the Palestinians to be eliminated like the indigenous of America.

You didn't convince me about Latin America, you yourself said Spanish Speaking they are not a nation. They vary in their descendants; Europeans, Indigenous, Africans, Etc. On the other side we Arabs are one nation with different flavors, shared history & civilization.

Who is better to be one nation of 300 millions or pieces of 5 million there, 20 there & so forth.

I read an article says that if the Arab countries unity they will be the 7^th largest economy in the world. Again which is better to have some starving while others are filthy rich!

More, Which is stronger! Have a look at USA most states can be a country by itself, big & rich. They unite because they know it is power. They don't follow the recipe of divide & conquer.

In These days. humans are so far away from humanity. The argument for Utopia goes thousands of years back and I believe we won't reach it for one reason we are by nature GREEDY.

I'd rather say I am from Amman, and my family comes from Palestine. What's the point in someone saying that they are Arabs and declining to say that they are from Lebanon or Tunisia as well?

I don't see Spanish speaking countries in Latin America saying they are "Spanish"? They say they are Latin Americans or say their nationality.

I am not for Arab nationalism, its gone and done with since Abdelnasser days. What's left of it is only mass-romantic-reminisce of the 60's. We have one embarrassing summit after the other and an almost ineffective body of an Arab League.

I think the Arab nations are doing much better in Sports than anything else. Even the gulf nations with so much differences amongst their leaders managed a GCC. Where citizens and residents can travel freely without restrictions and where they are economically open to get even richer.

I'd rather we call for each arab citizen to be part of a revolution, to change the status quo in their own home town to the better. To ellect better leaders and then only then we can talk of being a political power called the Arab Union that can help free Palestine & Iraq.

Even better, lets all join a humanity based union that transcends geography, language or race to stop all atrocities and bad distribution of wealth in the world.

All one step at a time. We start with our selves, then our families, and our neighbourhoods and if everyone does that the mass effect of changing cities and countries can be the result.
