Finland is top of the list...now you know what Finland is, to those of you who slammed Finlad for urging Iraq not to hang Saddam! Israel's deterioration was anticipated..more hatred is growing within the different factions controlling the Gov't..more hatred within the people themselves (Haredim and Socialists) along with gays that want to express themselves in the holy city of Jerusalem. To all Gays that back this parade: don't worry about the religious Jews..worry about the Muslims that live amongst you. If Jews can tolerate the parade..muslims won't.

that's quite obvious. With so many Israelis and members of the government who are for this corrupt, immoral parade, Israel is certainly deteriorating.

you see jews and muslims finally agree on something.. Gay pride should as far away as possible from Jerusalem. Even better if they all move to west hollywood. But most sucide bombers are gay men that muslim society force them out ny blowing up themselves....

It's Israel that sends their gay fighters to their death so that there won't be any gays in Israel; since it's against Judaism. If your IDF weren't gay, they would have accomplished something..but coz they're gay, they run around like headless chickens. They can't fight like men!

Corruption has nothing to do with the gay parade & if you believe it does, it says more about your own intellectual level than anything else. My second observation is that any of you citizens of Arab countries that have the usual delight in criticizing Israel should look closer to home since most of your countries are at the bottom of the list. The one thing you beat us at is corruption. That said, corruption comes from the top down, meaning our political elite sets the tone for everything else.

Olmert? "Leading a process"? Olmert is Mr. Corruption in Israel, and he has been since he started his slimy career in politics. The Comptroller-General will get him sooner or later.

I see no corruption

Allyou have to do is read the newspapers and you can see that israel is corrupt from top to bottom.Israel one day will implode from within and NOT by arabs.

So, what else is new? There has been corruption there as far as I can think.

Corruption is inherent in human nature, because of the disparity between humans.

stinking cesspool of a country that hasn't achieved a thing in thousands of years: despite our problems, we in Israel have and will continue to have a vibrant flourishing country. We can criticize ourselves and we can change - which is more than I can say for your country, where there is no hope, no employment, and no enlightenment. Trust me pal, when push comes to shove, and in our region it eventually does, the gayest parading Jew and the strictest haredi Jew become one to kick the asses of our enemies.

Jeez, guys, the story even identified the sources used in the calculation.

I don't understand what is suggested here: "SHVIL suggested that Israel and its prime minister work towards ratification of UN trust in the fight against corruption and its implementation in Israeli society." Are you suggesting the UN has some degree of moral standing where corruption is concerned. It's my opinion, there is no more corrupt organization than the UN.

is not this a strategic threat ?

Dear Abdul, to informe you, Egypt was ranked 70. What is the conclusion here? Best regards to Egypt

In the first place what kind of corruption are they talking about and in the second place I do not believe this article.

Whats that?

I checked out their website. They don't use ANY objective data in their research. They survey the public and "experts" and tally the results. Biased, unreliable data. Can't be trusted and should be ignored.
