Charedim Worse Than Arabs?

I call this Jewish Anti-Semitism:

The demographic growth of ultra-Orthodox Jews in Jerusalem is more of a concern to world Jewry than the demographic growth of Arab residents in the city, according to a report released Sunday evening by the Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI).

The report, titled “Jerusalem and the Jewish People: Unity and Controversy,” is based on discussions from dozens of focus groups with Jews around the world in which more than 500 participants took part, most of them in Jewish community leadership roles, the policy planning think tank said.

Participants were also asked whether they agree with the statement: “The growth of the non-Jewish and ultra-Orthodox population is a positive development because it contributes to urban diversity.” Almost half, 49%, agreed with this statement regarding the growth of the non-Jewish population, but only 29% agreed when it came to the expansion of the ultra-Orthodox population.
