The country is  internationally famous as being tough and resilient, fighting near  constant war with its neighbors for nearly its entire existence. It is  centered around key issues such as the rights of the Palestinians, and  is the source of much controversy. Well, back to the law, a rabbi is  legally allowed to, and often does, prohibit church-goers from picking  their noses during the Sabbath. This law exists, not so much because of  it being disgusting (although that is obviously a contributing factor),  but also in that it is believed that the potential bleeding caused by  the loss of nasal hair may result in violation of the religious code of  sanctity. Thus, the law is only directed to believers of the Jewish  faith, exempting ordinary citizens. </blockquote>
