I understand that, although, of course, there are Hasidic communities in Israel.
Your post also talked about inbreeding and generally nasty behavior on the part of Hasidics during rallies. My post was only to say that there are plenty of decent Hasidics. I was a goyishe girl working among them and they were fascinating and wonderful to me.
By the way, for anyone who wants to know about the community, I recommend the lovely movie “The Chosen” with a superlative performance by Rod Steiger. It’s subplot has to do with the refusal of Hasidics to support the state of Israel and a reform Jew (played by Maximilian Schell) who is fighting for its birthright.
I have not seen the movie but have read the book and highly recommend it.
A movie or a documentary?
