A friend in occupied Palestine sent me this: "i just came back from the darwish candlelight vigil and i was with a friend who told me that there is a new fm radio station called "hurriya" on 104.5 here. he says it's a dahlan owned station and that mostly they play fateh songs, songs about abu ammar, about abu mazen. there are no programs that speak against the occupation, only against hamas. but here is the kicker: he was driving and flipped on this channel and heard an orchestra singing a song that went something like this: "dahlan the greatest leader / dahlan the perfect leader / dahlan the smartest leader...we are your soldiers / we are your people.""
