St Andrews University expels man found guilty of racially abusing Jewish student

Paul Donnachie rubbed his hands on his genitals before wiping them on the flag, which belonged to Jewish exchange student Chanan Reitblat (21), before shouting about "a nation built on terrorism" and "they are all suicide bombers."

The 19-year-old was immediately expelled from university after he was found guilty of the offence at Cupar Sheriff Court on Tuesday. The offence was deemed to be racially aggravated.

1. I'm glad the authorities are taking this seriously
Defacing *an* Israeli (or other) flag might be political protest. Going into someone's bedroom in a drunken state, shouting at them, rubbing your genitals in their presence as he must have done, and defacing *the flag just above their bed*, is threatening and in a case like this racially abusive.

3. I endorse the action of the university on this matter.
What young Mr. Donnachie did was vile and beneath contempt.
