Ohio State Students - One Palestinian, One Jewish - Work Together To Promote Understanding

Matthew Frankel and Majd Zuhour first encountered one another as she demonstrated on the Ohio State University campus with other supporters of Palestinians in the Middle East. Frankel is Jewish. Zuhour is Palestinian. And while stereotypes would make them instant adversaries, Frankel had something else in mind. So he asked the group: “Does anyone just want talk about stuff, and not yell at each other?” Zuhour took him up on his invitation, and today the two OSU students call themselves friends.
