the same battles with the Nasser-led revolution. This was
especially true in Jordan where the two parties fought
together to win the Hashemite Kingdom for the Syrian-Egyptian
camp which was heading for union.
Al-Ra'i, the official organ of the ANM, played an
important role in propagating the ideas of the Arab
Nationalists concerning a wide spectrum of issues including
Arab unity, political freedoms and national action.
Dr. George Habash, who was then the editor-in-chief of the
weekly magazine, made it a special point to concentrate on
the most pressing political issues. Thus, by attacking
the Anglo-Jordanian treaty and by calling for its abrogation
in practically every issue of the magazine, the message was
well communicated and the paper became very popular among
larger segments of the population. The Jordanian government
could not stand that any more. Hence the magazine was
suppressed in August 1955 after only eight months of
publication. Nevertheless, it appeared after three months
under the same name in Damascus calling for the destruction
of the "reactionary regime" in Jordan.
The crack down on the Arab Nationalists in Jordan
pushed militant elements in the movement to the fore and
consequently led to the radicalization of the movement.
Dr. George Habash went underground once again to direct
the activities of the ANM and lead the struggle against the
government in power.
