Not making a judgement one way or the other, as I have not seen these videos either, but I wouldn’t make a decision based on what “Israeli style Ultra Orthodox” (aka Chareidi) would do.
For everyone’s information even the most frum New York yeshivish types are NOT like Israeli chareidi. Israeli chareidi kids can’t even play ball, much less watch ANY video.
Until recently (and somewhat even now) this was/is a big problem for frum Brooklyn types making aliyah – especially in terms of finding a school for their kids. Israeli chareidi is WAY more machmir than in the U.S., and Mizrachi-type was way too maykil.
–B”H now there is a category called “Chardal” (rashai taivos for CHAReidi DAti Le’umi) that is perfect for MOST frum New Yorkers making aliya.
