I knew a couple of Syrians, they didn't seem to like the Arabs much; though they do all seem to hate each other around that region so that's no measure. 'Arab Identity' is multifaceted and disparate at times, I'd suggest; they will all join together or all separate depending on the motivation on the table at the time...
