I wouldn't call early Arab Nationalists fascists, but the links between the fascist European states and the early Arab Nationalist movements is a topic of huge study:

This was a complex, multi-layered relationship that, yes, did have a lot to do with rising antisemitism, but was based mostly around the concept of the enemy of my enemy. Needless to say, it wasn't a good look for the nationalists as little as a decade later.
Indeed, unlike say the Rashyd Aly (which I would call fascist) regime in Iraq or the Jerusalem Grand Mufti's odd relationship with Hitler (again, massive fascist), these links were less obvious in Ba'athist circles of the early 40s. Though I'm sure a lot would call the neo-Ba'aths fascists.
