University of Maryland reflects Middle East conflict

The Jewish students at the University set up displays in the center of the mall a few weeks ago:

As I walked towards class I came across another group of students, apparently from Arab countries, who were demonstrating against Israel at the end of the mall in front of McKeldin Library. I don't believe it was coincidental that they picked this day. I also noticed that some campus policemen were keeping their eyes on both groups.

Some students wearing yamakas were engaging the Arab students in discussions, but everything appeared civil.
