A pro-Palestine activist who called Hamas' retaliatory attacks against Israel "inspiring" and "beautiful" is an elected Women Students' officer at the University of Sussex Students' Union, MailOnline can reveal.

Hanin Barghouti was seen addressing a crowd by the Clock Tower in Brighton during a protest organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign on Saturday -- a day after fighters began attacking and taking Israeli civilians as prisoners.

Describing herself as a "Palestinian," Ms. Barghouti said: "Yesterday was a victory. For freedom fighters to break out of a 15-year blockade [imposed on them by Israel's Jewish government] so successfully under the inhuman genocide of Israel was so beautiful and inspiring to see.

"It shows the world that we will always fight and always resist, and we need to celebrate these acts of resistance because this was a success.
