Eating Kosher in Israel

Tiberias on the Galilee Sea is a Jewish city, in contrast to Nazareth which is Arab (Muslim) and Christian (Arab), but in both cities dinner seems to be the same as it would be in East Watertown: kebab, schnitzel, salads, pickles and pita bread. The difference is that you will not be offered shellfish nor meat mixed with dairy in the Kosher restaurants of Tiberias. Your fellow diners will include Hasidic Jews. The man next to us (pictured with his wife right) got into a lively conversation with the men at another table. He was standing up calling out comments and the men were laughing. One of the few words I think I understood was "politi". Does "politi" mean politician?
