Protests Over Moves
Recall Intifada

Jerusalem (JTA) — Columns
of black smoke wafting up-
ward to the sky reminded
Jerusalem residents of the
bad days of the intifada.
Stones smashing through
windshields, baying crowds
of jostling youths and ragged
charges by baton-
brandishing policemen —
these, too, seemed reminis-
cent of the early months of
the Palestinian uprising.
The only difference was
that this time, the burning
roadblocks were in western
Jerusalem, rather than the
Arab- dominated eastern
half of the capital — more
precisely, throughout the
northwestern reaches of the
city in the solid heartland of
fervently Orthodox haredim.
Thousands of young
haredim took to the streets
in a surge of angry violence
in the wake of a stealthy
operation by archaeologists
and city earth-movers at a
controversial building site in
downtown Jerusalem.
Their protests were trig-
gered by the night's events
at the Mamilla building pro-
ject, where graves found and
now demolished are almost
certainly seventh-century
Christian tombs.
But the day's violence was
clearly intended as a signal
of what the capital can ex-
pect if the city and the Israel
Antiquities Authority go
ahead with documenting
and then demolishing
2,000-year-old Jewish burial
caves unearthed at a major
highway building site at
French Hill, in the northern
part of the city.
"The intifada itself will -
seem like child's play if that
happens," Yehuda Meshi
Zahav, a haredi activist,
vowed as he watched clashes
between haredim and police,
and between haredim and
secular citizens, at sites
throughout the northwest
section of the city.
The day's demonstrations
left a 6-year-old hospitalized
with an injured eye, and
several demonstrators and
police officers slightly hurt.
At least a dozen haredim
were arrested.
The main tactic of the
haredim was to push gar-
bage carts into the middle of
busy streets and set them on
fire. The strategy had the
effect of virtually paralyzing
the northern half of the city
for hotu-s.
At the High Court of

Justice, meanwhile, Justice
Aharon Barak ordered a
freeze on work at the
disputed French Hill site,
pending a full hearing on the
issue in 10 days.
The haredim greeted the
ruling as a victory.
"We have no problem with
Barak's permission to the
archaeologists to measure
the burial caves and list
their contents," said at-
torney Rafael Shtub, who
represented the haredi
Athra Kadisha group in the
court hearing.
Mr. Shtub contended that
efforts by Diaspora Jews to
preserve Jewish graveyards
abroad would be severely
compromised once it was
learned that a Jewish burial
site in Jerusalem itself had
been violated.
Yoram Bar-Sela, repre-
senting the Antiquities Au-
thority, argued that the
French Hill site, which dates

Thousands of
young haredim
took to the
streets.

to the period of the Second
Temple, could not be con-
sidered a graveyard within
the meaning of the law.
He contended, too, that
Athra Kadisha, a society for
preserving Jewish burial
sites, had no standing in the
case, but this was not ac-
cepted by Mr. Barak.
The city affirmed that
there is no acceptable alter-
native to a highway at that
site for alleviating major
traffic snarls in the north of
the capital every morning.
Tens of thousands of
residents of the northern
suburbs waste up to an hour
getting into town, the court
was told.
"I can only pray that my
wife, who is pregnant, does
not have her labor pains
between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m,"
said attorney Amnon Lorch,
a resident of the northern
suburb of Pisgat Ze'ev, who
appeared on behalf of the
neighborhood committee.
The haredi representative
voiced sympathy for this
problem, but said its solu-
tion could not come at the
price of disturbing the peace
of the dead.
