Britain's National Union of Students (NUS) elected a new president who has been criticized for her anti-Israel views, and argued against an amendment to commemorate the Holocaust on campuses on the same day, British media reported on Wednesday.

Malia Bouattia, NUS's first black Muslim woman president, has been heavily chastised for her controversial opinions.

But got elected anyway...

In a 2011 blog post for a Friends of Palestine campaign, Bouattia called Birmingham University "a Zionist outpost." Bouattia also did not initially support a motion condemning ISIS as a terror organization, according to BBC.
