Martin Luther King didn’t say that.
Recently, in my quotations section, I falsely quoted Martin Luther King as saying:
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. Anti-Semitism, the hatred of Jewish people, has been and remains a blot on the soul of mankind. In this we are in full agreement. So know also this: anti-Zionist is inherently anti-Semitic, and ever will be so.
This quotation turns out to be erroneous, a hoax. (*) I should have investigated it further.
Thank you to reader Jay Manifold for the correction. (†)
