The Ba'thists were the third significant group on
campus. It was only natural that the Arab Nationalists would
join forces with this like-minded group. But the Arab
Nationalists had their own misgivings about the Ba'th. In
the first place, the Arab Nationalists were impressed with
the need to formulate their own policies and tactics with
direct reference to the Palestinian problem. They wanted
to give the union issue a priority in the order of things.
Palestine was lost because of the weakness and division of
the Arab states. It was only natural for those who wanted
to challenge the Israeli threat to seek strength through
union. Albeit the Ba'thists did not respond favorably to
the Arab Nationalists demand that the national struggle
should be first concentrated on the union issue. They
insisted that the issue of socialism was equally important
and therefore a combined action against both foreign influence
and local exploiters should be carried at one and the same
time. 2?
The Arab Nationalists were also disturbed about the
increased involvement of the Ba'thists in the local politics
of the Arab states. The full entry of the Syrian Ba'th into
parliamentary politics angered the Arab Nationalists who did
not believe that anything fruitful would come out of the

Ideology", in Walter Z. Laqueur (ed.), The Middle East in
Transition .(New York: Praeger, 1958), pp. 155-157.
