Arab nationalist cliches losing ground



Tony sees in the parody above a movement from "Arab nationalist cliches" by the Lebanese opposition, and the blame-Israel-first mentality that the Syrians use to justify occupation.
[E]ventually, not now, the centrality of Israel in the narrative will continue to be weakened. It will be concomitant with the weakening of the centrality of Arab nationalism as a tool, and that is already taking place. In turn, that will lead to the strengthening of a more balanced Lebanese narrative, free of "the politics of victimhood."
