I got this off of the BBC, so even the Leftist can enjoy it. 
I'm not going to cut and paste the whole article, just the fun stuff.
Peter Mandelson, Labour MP for Hartlepool, said the Israeli-Palestinian dispute could only be settled by both sides actively engaging in the peace process. "By building a peace process and rebuilding it and rebuilding it, every time it falters or fails we must demonstrate to those with legitimate grievances that they can achieve a just outcome - but only by pursuing a political route.
"Violence and terror will only delay and obstruct the just outcome they seek.
"Politics not violence secures peoples' lives."
The former Northern Ireland secretary said a vision of peace benefiting all had sustained the peace process.
"In the Middle East, this vision is of an Israel secure within its borders, its existence unchallenged, its people never with their bags packed, never prepared to run again.
"And it is the equivalent for the Palestinian people - a viable, independent state, one that brings not just freedom but responsibility too, fulfilling all the obligations of international law."
OK, sounds good so far.
But some Muslim groups said they found the timing of the event "offensive".
Massoud Shadjareh, the chairman of the Islamic Human Rights Commission, said: "We feel that in the light of the recent massacres in Jenin it's extremely insensitive to organise a rally and blatantly say they support the state of Israel. "It's extremely offensive, not just to one community but to all of us who believe in certain absolute values."
Kumar Murshid, chairman of the London Muslim Coalition, said the Israeli rally could not have come at a more insensitive time.
He said: "People feel this is provocation. "If the purpose of this rally is to support the Israeli government and its position then it's clearly not a step in the direction of peace but quite the contrary. People feel very strongly about that."
The Israeli Solidarity Rally spokesman said: "It's a shame the Muslim groups don't want to join in but we are calling for a resumption to peace talks, and we aren't going to be distracted by people looking to wind up trouble."
