That's why in Anno Domini 2012, you still can't buy a cheeseburger in Israel: you can't mix meat and milk products on the same dish. That's the Hassidic-promoted law, and the Rebbe says so!

Okay, I can appreciate all that. The thing is though, since there is a faction there that would like to see the non Jews out of their country, but it is not happening, is evidence of their democratic ways.
I say again, in ANY other country in that region, you would be tortured or killed for many different offenses. Not so in Israel. They are the only free country in the region.
