Looks relatively peaceful based on your account. I tend to draw the line at banners and shouting about "from the river to the sea" and "globalize the intifada" as has happened on other campuses, creating a hostile environment for Jewish students and others even if there is not direct violence. I hope Deering Meadow doesn't get to that point.

I also wonder how many of these students have actually researched whether and how much NU invests in the Israeli government. I'd actually like to see that enumerated (OK, maybe not on a banner) and lifted up as part of these protests. Seems like it would be more granular and potentially useful in actually effecting change than a big campout.
