57. King wasn't that much of a pacifist
Edited on Wed Oct-08-03 03:23 PM by LevChernyi
He supported armed struggle against South Africa and defended Mandela at a time when he was doing twenty years for "terrorism" (and he was indeed a "terrorist" of the sort that took it upon himself to confer to himself through force if need be the rights God had granted him). As a matter of fact Mandela just got a ten-year waiver off the bad boy state department list of global terrorists a few months ago.

I doubt he would find much use for bombing random Israeli's but I have zero doubt that if he could see the West Bank and Gaza today his sympathies wouldn't lie with a bunch of spoiled, rich, immigrants vs. indigent people.
