Okay, they’re Haredi, so what? I assume they want to live, work, raise their families and practice Judaism as they see fit, just like everyone else. Why shouldn’t they be able to do that as long as they’re not trying to force others to follow their rules?

I think the concern has to do with Israel’s “Ultra-Religious” draining social services/welfare benefits.

PS: I still don’t see what’s scary about a silhouette and no, I don’t think there is an effort by American media to portray Jewish people as scary by silhouetting them just like I don’t think there is an effort by the media etc to wage a “war on Christmans/Christians” in America.
