I guess. As good as any other reason.

(AP) Israeli archaeologists say workers have uncovered an ancient pagan altar while clearing ground for construction of a hotly disputed hospital emergency room.
They say the discovery proves an ancient cemetery at the site that has been at the center of protests by ultra-Orthodox Jews does not contain the graves of Jews.
Protesters claim an emergency room extension at Barzilai Hospital in the city of Ashkelon is being built on an ancient Jewish cemetery. They demonstrated there when officials began removing graves this week, and rioting erupted in ultra-Orthodox areas of Jerusalem.

Learning that the graves were likely just those of some old godless heathens probably took the wind out of their rioting. The uniformity of the orthodox attire makes the whole scene look too orderly to be a proper riot anyway.

And as they are not of the faith removing them is ok. Typical.

Actually, it beats last summer's abomination about the parking garage.

Reminds me of that fight that broke out last year between monks of different denominations in the church of the holy sepulchre... It was on TV, and I nearly died laughing as it was such a funny scene: these wimp guys in long habits going at it, hitting eachother and tearing eachother's hair and beards out!
Those monks were Xtian fundamentalists, not orthodox Jews. But apart from the funny attire (of both) you wouldn't know the difference.

I think these things happen ( and happen and happen) to remind us that the Muslims are not the only crazies out there.

Fundementalists actually all follow the same creed.
WE ARE THE ONLY BEARERS OF THE TRUTH AND EVERYBODY ELSE WILL BURN IN HELLFIRE!
Their dress makes little difference.

That's all any religion is good for....starting fights which usually lead to wars.
