HaKatan said:
“…Islamic “nationalism” in then-Palestine also would not have happened if not for Zionism…“

MY RESPONSE (from the WikiPedia article about “Arab Nationalism”):
“Rooted in the 19th-century Nahda under Ottoman rule,
Arab nationalism emerged in the early 20th century as
an opposition movement in the Arab provinces of the Ottoman Empire,
later evolving into the overwhelmingly dominant ideological force
in the Arab world.[4] Initially focused on resisting Ottoman control,
it later opposed Western imperialism after World War I due to
the undesirable outcome of the Arab Revolt — in successfully achieving
their primary goal of dissolving the Ottoman Empire, “
__________________________________________
That article does mention that the creation of The State of Israel
increased the cause of Arab Nationalism, but Israel WAS NOT
the initial cause of the Arab Nationalism movement.
Therefore, the Arab Nationalism movement would have existed
even without The State of Israel,
contrary to what HaKatan has incorrectly stated.

Fanatical Jew-haters blame Jews for EVERY PROBLEM.
HaKatan and UJM blame Jewish Zionists for EVERY PROBLEM.
Do you notice the similarity?
