Could pan-Arabism ever work in reality?

Yes but they would be commies and poor

Not really.
We realised it the hard way.
We are just too different culturally to unite. We even speak different Arabic and we don't even understand each other.

>We even speak different Arabic and we don't even understand each other.
India, russia and china face way bigger language problems than the arab world. Culturally you're all exactly the same. Levantines, NAFRI, gulfie etc. eat, think and act the same. I'm an orthodox jew and I don't even see that big of a difference between saudi's and myself. Levantines and egyptians tend to have their heads up their asses and think a saudi is a different race or some shit

Egypt and Nafris are literally different
Their original language were mixed with Arabic. That's why they have different dialect. They aren't even semites like Arabs and Jews.
Jordan Robinson
>English, Welsh, and Scottish people are totally different! Welsh and Scottish aren't even Germanic!
Narcissism of small differences.
Jason Harris
Egyptians and Nafris are their own thing. Nafris aren't even part of the Arab world originally, this idea came with decolonization and Nasserist propaganda.
Noah Gonzalez
They're slightly different. Moroccans are the hardest to understand but it's not as bad as you say. Russia, China, India, Pakistan etc have completely different languages being spoken in the same country and it works
Blake Powell
But they are... anglos are Germanic while Scottish and Wales are Celtic

This. Pan-arabists were delusional there was never a uniform Arab identity to begin with, each region has its own culture/history/language. Regional unions are more appropriate.
Wyatt Lee
Now I don't know if Egyptians, Syrians and Iraqis considered themselves Arabs before the cold war. But for nafris it is clear that it wasn't the case
Connor Morris
>Egyptians and Nafris are their own thing.
No. Egyptians are closer to levantines than lebanese especially would like to admit and most israelis actually learn egyptian dialect because of the amount of media that's available for us to learn. If the arab world unites egypt would be the dominant intellectual and entertainment force and there would be a lot more mixing between the regions making people like haifa wehbe

Egyptians always saw themselves as Egyptians.
Noah Bailey
nah, maybe if regions united and arab union was stronger. like
>morocco, algeria, tunisia, northern mauritania
(which would literally never happen lol)
>egypt, libya, sudan
>iraq, syria, lebanon, jordan, west bank
>saudi, gulf states, yemen, oman
>and somalia, eastern ethiopia, djibouti i guess
as you can tell most of these are already farfetched, but those are the basic culture groups, you'd have to get all 5 supergroups to then strengthen the arab union into an EU sort of deal while still being independent
That is the quickest way to pan-arabism and just to get Algerians and Moroccans to unite requires to kill everyone and start over.

This here is the answer

Where is Turkey strongest arab country?

Asher Bell
No.
Your CIA propagated meme has no basis in neither reality or history, like a dog chasing his tail.
Henry Powell
Algerians and Moroccans get along well for the most part and acknowledge that the current political issue is a "fitna". Only chuds insult each other like good dogs over politics. The Western Sahara conflict was frozen until very recently due to the involvement of foreign powers.
Jason Gonzalez
That's completely wrong, local influence on Maghrebi and Egyptian is minimal. What makes them different from Levantine/Peninsular is just divergent evolution, you can't expect a language to remain the same everywhere for 1000 years.
What are you on? The Maghreb is part of the Arab world since a millenia, if you don't consider Maghrebis Arab then Egyptians aren't either, neither are ethnically Arab. With your restrictive definition of Arabness you're leaving out more than 2/3 of the Arab world.

>we don’t even understand each other
Usa diasporas don’t speak their native languages even with their own parents let alone publicly. I communicate with arabs from all across arab countries daily here never encountered any issues there are differences but there is no barrier
