1. Did you hear about Wilma Mankiller before I mentioned her?
2. How did King become a last name for blacks such as MLK? Was it their slave masters' name or is it because "If you is black, you is kingz and queenz, UMM HMM."?
Many blacks cite MLK and see the black cause as being similar to the PLO/Hamas Arab Muslim Nazi cause and see Israel as being racist. Many people say that MLK supported Israel and that blacks and other Anti-Semites are misusing MLK's legacy to be Anti-Israel. MLK is on a video posted by the World Jewish Congress on ZooTube. The video is of two clips of him saying "The whole world must see that Israel must exist and has the right to exist and it's one of the great outposts of democracy in the world." and "My Jewish brothers and sisters said to me: 'I meet Anti-Semitism anywhere. We don't need your support.' I would still take a stand against Anti-Semitism because it's wrong, it's unjust, and it's evil.".
The following is the WJC's description of the video:
When people criticize Zionists they mean Jews, you are talking anti-Semitism. Martin Luther King Jr. was not afraid to speak the truth, be in for his own people, or others who were facing hardships. Listen carefully.
I remember hearing a similar quote years ago that would be a recurring segment played during Arutz 7's commercial breaks.
Are these real quotes? If so, how does it fit in with what you said about him being a Jew hater on the last show? Or are the blacks of today that hate Israel covering up any Pro-Israel position of MLK as the Left moves further and further to the Left than they were when MLK was alive? Most of today's "civil rights leaders" are open Anti-Semites. Was MLK himself Anti-Semitic or was he just friends with other blacks who were Anti-Semitic? Or was it the black version of taqiyyah?
Wikpedia has an article called "Letter to an Anti-Zionist Friend". It says:
The letter is an open letter attributed to Martin Luther King Jr. that expressed support for Zionism and declared that "anti-Zionist is inherently anti-Semitic, and ever will be so." However, the letter is believed to be apocryphal.
It also says:
Rep. John Lewis mentioned the exchange at the Harvard meeting in a 2002 op-ed, quoting "When people criticize Zionists they mean Jews, you are talking anti-Semitism." He also gave other statements by Dr. King to the same effect, including one from March 25, 1968, "peace for Israel means security, and we must stand with all our might to protect its right to exist, its territorial integrity. I see Israel as one of the great outposts of democracy in the world, and a marvelous example of what can be done, how desert land can be transformed into an oasis of brotherhood and democracy. Peace for Israel means security and that security must be a reality.
