A Pro-Palestine marcher has sparked outrage by “cosplaying a Holocaust victim” during a protest in Westminster.
The individual was spotted holding a sign calling on the British Government to ‘save’ Palestine Action-affiliated hunger strikers.
She decided to hold the sign while wearing what appeared to be a mock-up concentration camp prisoner outfit with a Hamas triangle stitched on top.
During the Holocaust, concentration camp prisoners typically wore a distinctive grey-blue striped uniform and wooden clogs.
Connie Shaw from the Free Speech Union photographed the individual who was wearing the striped attire outside Parliament on Wednesday.
Author Dov Forman accused the individual of “Holocaust desecration” in a post to X.
He added: “Shame on anyone defending it – and on the hundreds who walked past and said nothing.”
A video of what appears to be the same individual went viral in July as she was confronted by a British woman.
The Met Police confirmed it was investigating the matter after footage showed the woman doubling down on her choice of outfit.

Her actions followed in the wake of a terror attack on Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, where 15 people were killed.
The violence erupted on Sunday evening as families gathered on the beach to mark the opening night of the Jewish festival of Hanukkah.
Witnesses described scenes of terror as heavily armed gunmen discharged dozens of rounds into the crowd of thousands, sparking a deadly stampede as people desperately sought cover.
Australian police have confirmed that multiple victims died from gunshot wounds and have formally classified the incident as a terrorist attack.
New South Wales Premier Chris Minns stated that the assault specifically targeted the Jewish community, confirming the antisemitic nature of the atrocity that has left the nation reeling.
Two suspects are currently being held in police custody in connection with the massacre. One of the attackers, identified as Naveed Akram, was killed during the incident.
Footage captured at the scene showed a courageous member of the public confronting and disarming one of the terrorists as chaos engulfed the beachfront.
The horror was compounded when investigators discovered a vehicle laden with explosives in the vicinity of the attack site, requiring bomb disposal units to make the area safe.
Numerous people sustained injuries during the assault, with casualties resulting from both the gunfire and the subsequent crush as crowds fled in panic.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese responded to the tragedy by calling an urgent national security meeting to address the attack and its implications.
The Israeli Government has criticised Australian authorities, claiming that intelligence warnings about potential threats had been disregarded prior to the assault.
International condemnation has been swift, with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi speaking out against the violence and reiterating his nation’s absolute opposition to terrorism in all its forms.
