There are many Arabs there. I don't see a lot of social interaction between Arab and Jew, but both are students together. Life goes on, and nobody bothers anybody. This is not a news story, so you will only hear about campus life when there are problems.The Frank Sinatra cafe was blown up a few years ago. Arab and Jew still eat in the rebuilt cafe as though nothing ever happened. Life goes on. We have no choice. I made a point of sitting in the middle every time that I had lunch there.

Not that this changes the content of the story much, just a technicality as they were described as PLO arabs. I thought when I read this article that the students had Israeli ID’s.

We just never get to hear about them. As for Blackwell - drongos like her know nothing about what happens on the ground but would have the country ostracised in any case.
