Arab nationalism
In late 2007, "el-Masri el-Yom" daily newspaper conducted an interview at a bus stop in the working-class district of Imbaba to ask citizens what Arab nationalism ("el-qawmeyya el-'arabeyya") represented for them. One Egyptian Muslim youth responded, "Arab nationalism means that the Egyptian Foreign Minister in Jerusalem gets humiliated by the Palestinians, that Arab leaders dance upon hearing of Sadat's death, that Egyptians get humiliated in Eastern Arabia, and of course that Arab countries get to fight Israel until the last Egyptian soldier." Another felt that,"Arab countries hate Egyptians", and that unity with Israel may even be more of a possibility than Arab nationalism, because he believes that Israelis would at least respect Egyptians.
