In this paper, we present our system, which was submitted to SemEval-2026 Task 9 (Subtask 1: Polarization Detection) and focuses on binary classification of polarized content in Arabic social media text. To address Arabic linguistic variations, we propose a single-model approach that combines fine-tuned AraBERT with synonym-based data augmentation. On the Arabic bind set, our method achieves a competitive macro F1-score of 0.831 and an accuracy of 0.833. Among the 45 participating teams, our system ranked 11th overall, with a performance gap of 0.018 macro F1 from the top-ranked team (0.8488). The results show that a fine-tuned AraBERT with synonym replacement is a strong, simple, and reproducible baseline that outperforms more complex setups in dealing with Arabic attitude polarization nuances.
