The article discusses demonstrations by British Asians regarding the invasion of Gaza, the Gaza Strip, by Israeli forces. The author comments on her decision not to join demonstrations and notes the importance of the Israel-Palestine conflict to British Asians. She suggests that the reaction of Asians is related to their attitudes toward western interference in the conflict and comments that the demonstrations illustrate British Asians' sense of political identity.
