Reuters reports about an opportunistic PLO Arab DJ:
With so much killing and economic misery, few Palestinians feel like partying. So for the intrepid DJ Saadeh, it’s a good thing that protest rallies are in demand.
“It’s assassination season,” he said, turning on a microphone at an angry gathering in Ramallah the day after Israel’s killing of militant leader Abdel-Aziz al-Rantissi. “Assassinations boost business.”

Not surprisingly, Hamas is one of the main clients for Saadeh’s sound system, organizing rallies where supporters vent their anger at Israel through speeches or nationalist songs.
“There is no mood for parties,” he said.

Saadeh works for one or other of the Palestinian political factions about once a week, but is shy about saying how much he charges — perhaps wary of being seen to benefit from the gloom of Israel’s clampdown on the Palestinian territories.
No mood for parties? I seem to recall much celebrating and sweets being handed out in recent times.
