Literature Prize, the poet Adonis and Arab fascism.

Last year, when the dictatorship of hug machine Harold Pinter won the Nobel Prize in Literature wondered part of this year it's time for Swedish Academy to award the prize to a classic fascist. So it was not. The prize went to the brave Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk .

Prior to publication, it was not he who tipped the most. The Syrian-Lebanese poet Adonis had the highest odds and also seemed to be the cultural elite's favorite. SVT book reviewer Yukiko Duke cheering him and the half rolige Gert Fylking desired in SvD "the Swedish Academy dared to be a bit political, and give the prize to such as the Syrian-Lebanese poet Adonis" . Thus, even more political?

Adonis , or Ali Ahmad Said that his real name, was in late 1940 - mid 1950s, an active member of Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP) .

It was a great party al-Za'im (mean Der Fuhrer) Antun Saadeh who named the young Said to Adonis. SSNP Advocates Greater Syria, which includes part of Turkey, Israel (but the Jewish population to be exterminated or driven out), the Palestinian Authority, the Egyptian Sinai, Cyprus, Jordan and Kuwait. The party is anti-Semitic to the extent that the Fuhrer is Saadeh also called his political opponents in Syria for "yahud al-dakhil" , "Internal Jews". The party has also embraced some symbols of the German Nazis such as Hitler salute. Syrian Nazis operate and have influence in Lebanon despite not To see the country as an independent state. 1986 went all the Shiite branch of the SSNP to a new Nazi party, Hezbollah. It was left by the SSNP has four seats in the Lebanese Parliament.

In Syria SSNP in Bashar al-Asad National Progressive Front led by pan-Arab Baath Party, which in turn created the Nazi emissaries of the French Vichy government during World War II. Towards the end of the 1950s abandoned their Adonis pansyriska opinions and SSNP to embrace truly Pan-Arabism.

"A little political" , was the word.
