Tunnel Smuggler in Rafah, Gaza
Nadene Goldfoot
Seven states are listed as the world's most corrupt and are in order from the worst to the least corrupt:.5 of the 7 are Muslim majority states.
Not listed would have been Palestine but it was not yet a state. As of Friday, May 30, 2014, the Obama Kerry administration recognized the Hamas-Fatah unity government of Palestine. Israel has given it stipulations that certainly have not been reached, for the minute it was considered a state, the kidnapping of 3 Israeli boys occurred and was proven to have been done by Hamas. This was followed by the kidnapping of a Muslim boy in retribution which set off unbelievable riots in Jerusalem and elsewhere amid constant rockets raining into Israel from Gaza. That has led to so many rockets being shot all over Israel by Hamas that Israel is now in the 13th day of going into Gaza to stop the launching of rockets, mortars and missiles. We have witnessed that the minute Israel pulled out of Gaza in the name of peace in 2005, the Palestinians turned on southern Israel by shooting many rockets into the population. The minute they were recognized by the USA, they have done the same thing; attack Israel more with the rockets, mortars and missiles as well as acts of kidnapping and killing. Corrupt doesn't begin to cover the dastardliness of this terrorist unity of Fatah-Hamas. Both times they gave a promise of peace to Israel and both times this was broken within minutes.
Fatah had been run by the corrupt Yassar Arafat of the PLO terrorists from 1959 to 2004 when he died who was able to make himself a billionaire from money donated by his friendly neighbors for his people. In the end his widow was left extremely rich. as a millionaire.
Today Fatah, which is the new face of the PLO, is run by Mahmoud Abbas and has been since 2004. He has united with Hamas terrorists, run by Khaled Mashal also since 2004, who have taken over Gaza and have been shelling Israel with rockets, mortars and missiles since 2001. The new unity government has replaced him with Ismail Haniyeh. Their plan for their Palestine is that it will have no Jews living in it. This is quite different than Israel which has 1.7 million Arab citizens.
The Palestinians have not been able to pay their electricity bill to the Israel Electric Company who they depend on to supply it. . During this attack from Gaza with rockets, they managed to cut off their own electricity source. 70 thousand people were left without electricity. Besides that, they owe Israel anywhere from $525 million dollars to $62 million for their unpaid electric bill.
600 of today's tunnel burrowers in Gaza are also now millionaires as well. They charge a tax on goods brought through their tunnel. Some are big enough to drive trucks through. The Hamas terrorists use them for supplies of weapons and also found are tunnels that find their exit in Israel so that they can try to kidnap or kill Israelis. All this is put to a stop right now in the Operation Protective Edge. So far at this writing 13 tunnels have been destroyed by the IDF.

What is it that these states lack that successful states have? What is it that creates corruption in a state?
Answer: "Political corruption is the use of powers by government officials for illegitimate private gain. An illegal act by an officeholder constitutes political corruption only if the act is directly related to their official duties, is done under color of law or involves trading in influence."
"Forms of corruption vary, but include bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, patronage, graft, and embezzlement. Corruption may facilitate criminal enterprise such as drug trafficking, money laundering, and human trafficking, though is not restricted to these activities.
Misuse of government power for other purposes, such as repression of political opponents and general police brutality, is not considered political corruption. Neither are illegal acts by private persons or corporations not directly involved with the government."
Compare these states with the 10 least corrupt states listed:
