ARAB NATIONALIST MOVEMENT (ANM; in Arabic, Harakat al-Qawmiyyin al-Arab)
A political movement, the Arab Nationalist Movement was created at the beginning of the 1950s at the American University of Beirut. Its founders, among whom were George Habash and Hani al-Hindi, advocated an independent, regional Arab nationalism, socialist in ideology. In 1967, following the Arab defeat in the 1967 War, the ANM was dissolved, giving rise to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), led by Habash.
