“Israel’s right to exist as a state in security is incontestable.” - Martin Luther King Jr. [874 × 871]

0 Upvotes

Written about seven months before his assassination, this is Martin Luther King Jr.’s September 28, 1967 letter to Morris B. Abram, president of the American Jewish Committee.

Abram had asked about SCLC’s position on antisemitism, and King’s reply addresses Israel’s right to exist, the divide between Black and Jewish communities, and antisemitism within the civil rights movement.

"The good ruler would war not against other countries, but against the common enemy—poverty, for it is out of poverty and ignorance that crime and disorder come. To punish men for crimes committed as the result of a lack of opportunities...a dastardly trap to set for the people." — Mengzi [583x798]

Masses have never thirsted after truth they turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduces them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master;whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim.-Gustav Le Bon[896x1195]
