The governments of the Middle East are given aid to insure that the oil stays flowing into the the west, the corruption has nothing to do with it. It is the corruption that prevents foreign investment and their economies from flourishing, you can not blame the west for the economic problems that the middle east encounters.
As for Olmert, he has broken the law and will pay the consequences. But this fact will never spread in the region because there is no democracy |

HL-"in other states they stay in power and bleed the country dry." That sounds like the our government. "Stealing profits from natural resources." That sounds like our war. You seem to ignore the fact that Israel is starving out the Palestinians right now. That sounds corrupt to me. The reason the US supports them is because we want an ally in the middle east. We can't ever be too far from the oil. That also sounds pretty corrupt. Maybe pointing fingers isn't a good idea. |

A leader is the face of its nation? How bad for arabic nations then. Can you be honest just once? Hate Israel, the Israeli, and even the Jews if you like, but you can still recognize than Israel is the only nation of the Middle East where a leader can be sued for corruption, thhe only one that permits that. If neigbouring countries did the same, I could not imagine the result. |

Yes of course ,this is strong sign of democracy in Israil.
We can't argue with that ,even more :
I feel much jealousy toward this phenomena.
BUT.. BUT
You can't ignore the ugly face of Israil toward Palestinian's, inspite of it's democracy.
You couldn't deny the racist nature of Israil against Palestinians and Arabs.
You should realize the similarity with the South African policy 60/80's and Germany state in 2WW!
Such a mentality should be changed to gain peace for all!

AFK, are you suggesting that the leaders of the other states in the Middle East are not corrupt? There is always corruption in government, the difference is that in Israel the perpetrators can be brought to justice where as in other states they stay in power and bleed the country dry, and as far as corruption goes, accepting bribes from businessmen is much less morally reprehensible than stealing profits from natural resources like other states in the region. |

Harrison Leventhal, it is your country-the US that is propping up these corrupt leaders in the Middle-East. By sending them aid, and not speaking out against their suppression of the people, you've given them the power to continue their acts. It seems that the US only speaks out when it benefits them or Israel. |

And this is a man the palestinians are supposed to trust to bring peace between them and Israel??? If his own people can't trust him, should the palestinians?? ... What a JOKE !!!.. Livni isn't any better either. She's just hollering now to take over his position... Just wait for future history to bring about HER true colors.

hi
this is a nice try!
why after many years of corruption he should be claimed now, don't you think that he and his gevernment are going to trial soon becasue of Genocide that they have done to Pallestinians!
of course they have to make him step down for only the corruption in order to mis-lead global thoughts from what they are doing as a Genocide!

I hope that Mr harrison differentiates between corruption in the context of the colonial power and that of the middle east. The colonial power called israel reflects corruption in all domains. Accordingly the most corruption they have made is that of the free Palestina.
I agree with you that the leaders of the middle east make use of corruption and because of such behaviour that the colonial power still survive. Please publish this time. |

I agree with molly. Livni is worried about Israels moral image. Maybe should go to Gaza and the West Bank to see what her government is doing |
