    Israel didn’t control the West Bank or Gaza Strip until 1967, less than a year before MLK’s death.

    I’m opposed to what Israel has been doing with those two territories. I’m not opposed to Israel’s existence, I don’t consider it any less legitimate than any other country; many countries were founded on violence or other horrible things that I don’t condone.

      No, Israel didn’t officially occupy it then. Bit they were already there in mass killing Palestinians and agitating a war JUST like today in the West Bank. Sorry, your stance is wrong. He was a Zionist.
