The Arabs and the national issue

It is the dream... for every Arabic-speaking person... The Arab dream; our book addresses it with great accuracy, objectivity, and documentation, and it discusses the history of the emergence of the national question, the conditions for its realization, the characteristics and causes of the formation of nations, and their supra-national unions. It carefully examines anew what humanity has produced in terms of transnational and global formations, and it clarifies how the national question has continued as one of the driving elements in human history. It monitors the struggles of nations that have not achieved their identity, including the Kurdish and Arab nations, and how the national question has become a motivating factor in the disintegration of the European Union, and in the escalation of America’s own crises, and its pursuit of isolation and evasion of globalization and partnerships—"Trump and America First." The Arab issue imposes itself, having marked the 20th century with its features and concluding it with the Lebanese May Victory, solidified by the victories in Baghdad and Gaza, and the July 2006 war, as well as the structural changes brought about by the Syrian war on the global system, and the reorganization of the region and its geography and systems. The situation is fundamentally Arab. Our book stands on the ongoing transformations in the Arab chaos, the disappearance of Sykes-Picot, the crisis of the Zionist entity, the disintegration of political and armed Islamism, and the fading of the illusion of a new Ottoman state. The Arab dream: is now within reach of realization, and nothing now stands in its way. The continuous and sustained resistance of the Arab nation for over a century and a half has accomplished the tasks of the resistance era, dispersed all elements and forces that hindered its project, and generated new global incentives for it, thus creating its precious opportunity. The Egyptian question is: will the Arabs become the masters of the century? Or will they falter and become slaves until the end of time? Their sovereignty depends on renewing their national project to become a civilized, dialogic, interactive, democratic, and secular project, in harmony with the values, laws, and products of the era. A project conditioned on being a liberating one that takes the peoples of the region by the hand to free them and build a just, voluntary continental union— the Union of the Nations of the Great East.
