DFLP and the Syrian regime

The DFLP's mouthpiece, Al-Hurriyyah (which is freedom in Arabic) is published from Damascus.  I have a free subscription.  I was reading recent issues and there is not one word about the repression in Syria.  And if the regime falls, Nayif Hawatimah will make speeches about the greatness of the Syrian uprising.  He did the same in Egypt: the DFLP was very close to the Syrian regime, and to `Umar Sulaymna in particular (in his lousy book on the Arab Left, Hawatimah even published pictures of him with Sulayman).  And when the regime fell, Hawatimah went to Cairo and spoke about the greatness of the Egyptian "revolution".
