based Al-Yaum said certain quarters in Iraq have been exploiting the slogan of banishing Al-Baath party for eliminating the Arab identity and the national powers in the country, adding that these quarters are actually practicing political liquidation which aims at undermining Iraqi unity. "The strange matter is that the quarters which detest the Arabs and work at directives of foreign powers have been freely practicing their activities in Iraq at a time when the Arab forces are under persecution as if belonging to Arabism is a crime." "It seems there is no other option, but to work for a genuine national reconciliation and prevent the anti-Arabism forces from going after the national forces that are enriched by the unshakeable Arab identity. "The religious and national diversity in Iraq should be a positive element for the development of Iraq and it should never be an element for communal and sectarian strife and political liquidations," the daily added.
