Mideast: On Target - Israel 2007 – Endemic Corruption?

Israel faces its most challenging moments since its establishment led by thoroughly corrupt and venal individuals (Mideast: On Target - Israel 2007 – Endemic Corruption?). Moreover, the political establishment is rife with this cancer, which cynically looks at contributors to the social good as "suckers". Most Israeli citizens still share a unity and understanding of their nationhood, as shown during the Lebanese War last Summer. There are clearly some good people still in key positions in the civil service -- otherwise these corruption investigations wouldn't keep happening and coming public. However, if Israel doesn't find leadership soon with some sort of moral compass and certainty in right and wrong and their place in history as a guardian of the land for the generations, things could well become tragic, not only for Israel but for all of us, in the next several years.
