How much of a dictator is Mahmoud Abbas?

Last week, a very small story was reported in Palestinian Arabic media.

Dr. Kamal al-Sharafi resigned from the presidency of Al-Aqsa University in Gaza.

The interesting part is who he sent his letter of resignation to.

Not to a Board of Directors. Not to the Minister of Education.

No, his resignation was accepted by PA president/PLO chairman/Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas.

Just more proof that nothing happens in the Palestinian Authority run areas (and Al Aqsa is evidently part of the PA even though it is in Gaza)  without Mahmoud Abbas' personal permission.

There was 25 years between the beginning of the quasi-governmental Jewish Agency and the rebirth of Israel, where the new government was up and running immediately.

It has now been 25 years since the Palestinian National Authority has been created - and it still runs like the PLO ran under Arafat, with secret money and no trust, no government, only an autocracy.
