Columnist Dr Abdulaziz al-Maqalih says in his article that maybe the talk of Arab unity in the fifties and sixties was colored with an amount of romanticism. But the whole matter has now changed. The general attitude towards unity and its thought has sprung from the conscience and the feeling of alignment and grouping the Arab division to face the dangers that are gathering day by day in an attempt to contain the Arab homeland as a first step to destroy it.

The dream of a united, strong and advanced Arab homeland makes the people all over the Arab world watch the realization of that dream and makes them completely forget their small differences and regional jingoisms and may lead them to denouncing the state of division that tempts the enemies to act against them. Even the Arab regimes that were afraid of the talk of unity are now hoping the return of unitary sentiments to their earlier warmth to create a resistance to the return of the forces of occupation under new names and excuses to achieve their intentions of hegemony over the Arab land and to control its resources and markets as well as to tighten the grip around the competing big powers.
