Will LEFT BOYCOTT Palestinian Solidarity Demo?

Last demo had absence of left groups

When a 100,000 strong demo, predominantly Asian in origin took to the streets the left was absent as an organised block. Apart from paper sellers there were hardly any union contingents or any left groups with numbers.

Will they boycott Saturdays demo as well?
Why were they absent?
Despite the fact that Britains largest union UNISON has publically sided with the Palestinians will it do anything for the demo?

Tied to Labourism, by voting for it in every possible election, the British Left is leaving the door open to the Islamists to mobilise and appear as the only opponents to Bushs new world order.
