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... The hatred of the Jews remains a blot on the soul of mankind... So know this, anti- Zionism is... anti-Semitic and ever will be so.” — Martin Luther King, Jr.
