He said in a follow-up interview the “terrorist flag” reference was to a flag for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – designated a terrorist organisation by the EU – which was waved by some masked students on campus this week. “The college has not only taken no action but rewarded them, yielding to every demand.
