It depends on how you define the terms. In general, extremists are not prone to financial corruption. You become an extremist because you strongly believe in something (right or wrong) and you are willing to do whatever it takes for that cause. Extremists are however prone to being corrupt in the sense of not valuing the people's will and being self centered. In the case of Arafat, I consider him total garbage who is willing to do anything to stay in power and make an easy life for himself. In that sense, he is corrupt but not really extremist. The whole issue is being approached the wrong way imo. If the problem is the PLO, then force a different leadership. Such a move is possible if the new leadership is not pro-Israel. All you need for progress is honest and relatively fair leadership on both sides. Fallowing leaders who are Pro-this and Anti-That is not helpful for either people.
