An anti-Israel protester dressed as a Holocaust victim standing outside Parliament in London Wednesday was respectfully approached by a police officer, who asked for her details but gave her permission to decline to answer. The woman was also holding up a sign that said, “Genocide in Gaza. Shame on you, Netanyahu.”

“We have had a couple of people who find how you’re dressed to be offensive, OK?” he began. “You’re not being arrested, although it is fairly borderline offensive. I think you know why. OK, now we’re going to ask if you’d like to provide some details to us. You do not have to. We would just like to make an incident report that people find how you’re dressed offensive. OK?”

The deference turned into outright obsequiousness with the next question.

“Would you like to give us your name?” the officer asked. The woman refused, saying that he knows her name. When he said he didn’t, the protester said that she’s known to the police.

“You’re well known, aren’t you?” he asked politely. “Yes. OK. But you don’t want to give us your details right now.” Then he said thank you, though for what is not clear from the video.

The woman is indeed known to police. She was arrested in January after accosting Nick Timothy, who had recently been appointed to the post of shadow justice secretary, when he stepped outside of Parliament on Wednesday, Jan. 28.

Writing about the experience on X, Timothy, who is not Jewish, said, “This morning as I left Parliament an anti-Israel protester shouted at me,” he wrote. “I turned and saw she was wearing the striped outfit the Nazis made Jews in concentration camps wear.”

The woman was arrested by the Metropolitan Police, who said in a statement, “We can confirm this woman was arrested outside Parliament earlier today on suspicion of a racially/religiously aggravated public order offense. She remains in custody.”

Timothy argued that the arrest was fair.

“You can argue about whether this should be illegal or not,” he wrote. “But when others are arrested and charged using public order legislation for causing offense to followers of Islam – like in the case of Hamit Coskun – why is this deemed OK?”

Hamit Coskun, a half-Kurdish and half-Armenian man from Turkey, was arrested last June for burning a Quran and was ultimately convicted of disorderly behavior and fined.

Timothy posted a picture of the woman, who bore on her chest and hat a yellow crescent with a star in the middle in a grotesque mimicry of the yellow star Nazis forced Jews to wear, and wrote, “I understand this is the woman in the outfit. She appears to make a habit of her disgusting behavior.”
