A reliable Palestinian source sent me this: "The PA illegally confiscated 8 dunums to use for the burial of Mahmoud Darwish. The 8 dunums are owned by three families, including the 'Uways
family. Darwish's posters are everywhere on government buildings etc. The PA insisted that his funeral march comes out of the Muqata'ah which meant that only 120 people marched behind him as people refusedto go there to start the march. Outside they were met by a maximum of 5000 for the rest of the funeral --exaggerated and inflated figures notwithstanding."
