Mahmoud Abbas, the ruthless dictator who already controls the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the Palestinian government, is now going after....the unions.
On Tuesday, the Palestinian Authority president issued a presidential decree to dissolve the Doctors' Syndicate and to replace it with another union headed by his own pick, Shawki Sabha.
The Doctors Syndicate stated that Abbas's decision wants to replace the current elected council for the group with handpicked cronies.
Abbas consistently goes after any organization that does not toe his line. And he's been doing this for over 15 years.
Palestinian human rights groups Al Haq and the Independent commission for Human Rights denounced the decision. But outside of those, the media and major human rights organizations let Abbas do whatever he wants.
