Israel Becoming More Corrupt

Should I be surprised by this story? Any system that is set up to subjugate people has corruption built into it as a means to get around it.

In Jerusalem, I witnessed a pay-off of a huge bundle of Israeli a ride into Jerusalem by "Amir" who has papers which allow him to travel into Israel and back. He has told me he needed to conduct some business in Jerusalem and asked if I would be interested in accompanying him as he did so. "Sure!" I said. I gladly accepted the offer.

I didn't get to see much of the city but I did get to see 'Amir' make a very suspicious rendevous to an area near a park on the outskirts of Jerusalem and make a payoff of a huge bundle of shekels discreetly to an Israeli soldier standing by a military parked by the side of major road.
