The red hurricane (zawba'a)
The SSNP emblem and flag features a curved swastika called the red hurricane (zawba'a), which was was modeled after the Nazi swastika.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Like the Nazi flag, it uses the three colors red, white, and black, comparable to similar fascist-inspired movements such as the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging.

"[The SSNP] greet their leaders with a Hitlerian salute; sing their Arabic anthem, "Greetings to You, Syria," to the strains of "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles"; and throng to the symbol of the red hurricane, a swastika in circular motion."
  2. ↑ Pipes, Daniel (1992) Greater Syria, Oxford University Press ISBN 0195060229 "The SSNP flag, which features a curved swastika called the red hurricane (zawba'a), points to the party's fascistic origins."
  3. ↑ Rolland, John C. (2003) Lebanon, Nova Publishers ISBN 1590338715 "[The SSNP's] red hurricane symbol was modeled after the Nazi swastika."
  4. ↑ Johnson, Michael (2001) All Honourable Men, I.B.Tauris ISBN 1860647154 "Saadeh, the party's 'leader for life', was an admirer of Adolf Hitler and influenced by Nazi and fascist ideology. This went beyond adopting a reversed swastika as the party's symbol and singing the party's anthem to Deutschland über alles, and included developing the cult of a leader, advocating totalitarian government, and glorifying an ancient pre-Christan past and the organic whole of the Syrian Volk or nation."
  5. ↑ Becker, Jillian (1984) The PLO: The Rise and Fall of the Palestine Liberation Organization, Weidenfeld and Nicolson ISBN 0297785478 "[The SSNP] had been founded in 1932 as a youth movement, deliberately modeled on Hitler's Nazi Party. For its symbol it invented a curved swastika, called the Zawbah."
