Civil Rights and The Most Basic Human Right, The Right To Exist.
ReplyDeleteMartin Luther King’s Words about Israel’s and Jewish Legitimacy.
"...You declare, my friend, that you do not hate the Jews, you are merely 'anti-Zionist.'
And I say, let the truth ring forth from the high mountain tops, let it echo through the valleys of God's green earth: When people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews - this is God's own truth...
All men of good will exult in the fulfillment of God's promise, that his People should return in joy to rebuild their plundered land. This is Zionism, nothing more, nothing less...
And what is anti-Zionist?
It is the denial to the Jewish people of a fundamental right that we justly claim for the people of Africa and freely accord all other nations of the Globe. It is discrimination against Jews, my friend, because they are Jews.
In short, it is anti-Semitism...
Let my words echo in the depths of your soul: When people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews - make no mistake about it."

-- Excerpt from "This I Believe: Selections from the Writings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." (New York, 1971), pp. 234-235. Note from Dr. Katz: This is probably Reverend King’s last public speech before his assassination in 1968; delivered at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts. I was there with a group of other student Class Presidents from Boston and vicinity Universities.
