Arabs come to his senses?
as I had hoped , brotherly Arab people still ripe for the revival of pan-Arab national social-democratic project. Not realized the expectations of those who thought that the Arabs again kupyatsya on any type of bullshit Islam, specially concocted for the West otupleniya People East. Anyway, this expert says the portal Aljazeera, whose article is called: «Resurrection pan-Arabism. The Egyptian revolution revived a new type of pan-Arabism, based on social justice rather than an empty slogan ». ( See the translation into Russian )
few quotations:
«Egypt Revolution, which occurred under the influence of the Tunisian rebellion, raised a new sense of pan-Arabism - based on the struggle for social justice and freedom. Strong support for the Egyptian revolutionaries throughout the Arab world reflect the unity of the Arabs in the rejection of tyranny, or at least authoritarian rule, corruption and the rule of narrow political and financial elite.
Arab statement in solidarity with the Egyptian people also suggest that there is a strong trend towards the revival of Egypt as a pan-Arab leader and unifier. Posters with pictures of Gamal Abdel Nasser, former president Egypt, raised in Cairo and other Arab capitals, people who have not even been born when Nasser died in 1970. Scenes reminiscent of those that occurred on the Arab street in the 1950 and 1960.
But this is not an exact copy of a pan-Arab nationalism in those days. Then pan-Arabism was a direct response to Western domination and the creation of State of Israel in 1948. Today it is a reaction to the lack of democratic freedoms and the unequal distribution of wealth in the Arab world.
... In 1950's and 1960's, millions of Arabs took to the streets in our resolve to continue the liberation of the Arab world from the remnants of colonial and creeping American hegemony. In 2011, millions of people took to the streets not only to win freedom, but not to repeat the mistakes of the previous generation. Slogans against the external enemy, no matter how they are legitimate - an empty word, if this is delayed the fight for democratic freedoms.
protesters in Cairo and outside the lift posters with photographs of Gamal Abdel Nasser, because they see it as a symbol of Arab dignity. But unlike Nasser, the demonstrators called to new life Pan-Arab nationalism, which recognizes that national liberation can not go hand in hand with the suppression of political dissent. "
