When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews, You are talking anti-Semitism".

- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in a speech at Harvard University shortly before his assassination in 1968, from "The Socialism of Fools" The Left, the Jews and Israel by Seymour Martin Lipset; in Encounter, (December 1969), p. 24.

I just think this should short-circuit most of the people getting upset in SF this week. It would cause them to explode if they said Dr. King was wrong, yet they're very happy equating Zionism with racism as a sloganeering straw man justification for advocating terrorism.

No one ever accused them of considering ramifications of their opinions, though. It's more fun to bang on drums and say the jews are bad.

Got the quote from here. I'm looking forward to how people react.
