Republican Norm Coleman, left, and Democrat Al Franken shake hands Sunday after Franken spoke in support of Israel at a St. Louis Park event. Coleman also spoke, as did Republican U.S. Rep. John Kline, right, behind Franken; Gov. Tim Pawlenty; former Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Dayton; Republican U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann; and state House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher, DFL-Minneapolis.

Large demonstrations on both sides were held around the world Sunday. Pro-Israel events drew crowds in New York, London and Belgium, while pro-Palestinian rallies turned violent in Pakistan and the Philippines.
