FULL TITLE: Ultra-Orthodox Jewish passenger delays flight for more than an hour because he wanted the TV screens switched off
A flight from Kiev to Israel was delayed for more than an hour on Thursday night after an ultra-Orthodox Jewish man insisted the overhead television screens were retracted or turned off.
In keeping with traditional religious teachings and practices, the passenger argued that he did not want his children to watch any TV or films during the flight with budget Israeli airline UP.
Despite his verbal protest, flight attendants were unable to adhere to the man's request and they issued eye masks instead.

Yes!
“It’s like the ultra-orthodox are becoming Amish or something.”
They’ve always been. Many of their women wear wigs so only their husbands see their real hair out of a false sense of modesty. .

Basically Hair Hats.
“God usually doesn’t take away the temptation... he tells you overture eyes”
Would that be The William Tell Overture?
No. "were retracted" is correct. "be retracted" be ebonics

Seriously?! I hope that you are joking!
The fact is that the screens were, indeed, NOT in the retracted position. But he didn't like that situation: He wanted them to be retracted. So he demanded that they be retracted (so he and his children would then not have to see them).
Again, I hope that you are joking.
