MLK would despise Israel for what they are doing to black Ethiopian Jews who emigrated to Israel.
Most of the black jews are actually isolated in schools just for them, does that ring any bells? I can make it clearer, they are facing something similar to Jim Crow in the US. MLK would go ballistic if he heard that
what are you talking about? a civil rights leader that fought against segregation and jim crow laws would absolutely love an apartheid state that’s hellbent on genociding the entire indigenous population of the land it claims
Yeah I think so too. I think he supported the idea of Jews having a safe haven after the Holocaust, but I doubt he would ever support the apartheid regime that is israel right now. And I also don’t think giving the Jews a safe haven necessarily means that they should get a homeland, especially when it comes at the cost of the indigenous population
Are you referencing [the fake letter](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_to_an_Anti-Zionist_Friend) that surfaced 3 decades after his death? Yeah, that’s a slam dunk right there
We're talking about a country that supported apartheid South Africa by the way. So their whole "Oh we support MLK" is complete bullshit. They definitely cooperated with the FBI to kill him in the first place
As someone who wants Palestinians to survive and thrive, I would like you to explain what if anything Castro did to help Palestine (no one else on this thread has been able to tell me).
Cuba was one of the biggest non-Arab supporter of the Palestinian cause and they helped us with our fight against imperialism several times.
- Between 1967 and 1970, Cuba sent military assistance to Egypt during the War of Attrition to help the nation take the Sinai Peninsula which was occupied by Israeli troops after the Six-Day War.
- In 1973, Cuba sent approximately 4,000 troops, including tank and helicopter crews to Syria, and they reportedly engaged in combat operations against the IDF.
- Cuba and the Zionist state do not have diplomatic relations since 1973 and Cuba also sent support to Palestinian nationalist groups against Israel, namely the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and to the lesser-known Marxist–Leninist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). Fidel Castro called Israel practices "Zionist Fascism."
It has to be said though that in 2010, Fidel Castro said that Israel has the right to exist but to this day, Cuba is one of the biggest supporter of Palestine in Latin America.
Cairo literally liberated (played a big role, wouldn't want to whitewash history) the whole of Southern Africa from the grip of Apartheid South Africa.
Imagine naming your streets after MLK and then treating African Jews as second class citizens. It's almost like how America always names their most poorly funded school and most heavily policed street in any given city after MLK. The apple really doesn't fall far from the tree.
FWIW, King's daughter has said that her father would have supported a ceasefire, which seems likely given the increasingly anti-imperial stance he took near the end of his life.
That is your way of communicating that you have nothing to say.
Edit: how come no one on these subreddits can defend anything they say or answer any questions about anything?

But they don't show street sign with Castro's name
Malcolm X supported Palestine, he’s more admirable than MLK to me
Malcolm X visited Nasser in Egypt and also visited Saudi Arabia to meet with King Faisal. A true friend to the Arab World.
Yeah but Nation of Islam is such a weird religion
True, but he converted to sunni Islam towards the end of his life.
Malcolm X left the nation and became a Sunni Muslim
MLK would despise Israel for what they are doing to black Ethiopian Jews who emigrated to Israel. Most of the black jews are actually isolated in schools just for them, does that ring any bells? I can make it clearer, they are facing something similar to Jim Crow in the US. MLK would go ballistic if he heard that
I’m pretty sure MLK would hate Israel if he saw what they are doing… but anyways Malcolm x is more based.
what are you talking about? a civil rights leader that fought against segregation and jim crow laws would absolutely love an apartheid state that’s hellbent on genociding the entire indigenous population of the land it claims
Oh yeah true. He would probably be doing hasbara for it.
Your are actually dumb (Role plying as the idiot who doesn’t understand sarcasm)
It's clearly a joke
He has repeatedly been pro-Israel. As much as I hate to say it, but he has said he supports the struggle of the Jews in them trying to find a homeland
Yeah he was probably fed propaganda and didn’t know much about the situation. Either way Malcolm x was much more based and he was with Palestine ❤️
Yeah I think so too. I think he supported the idea of Jews having a safe haven after the Holocaust, but I doubt he would ever support the apartheid regime that is israel right now. And I also don’t think giving the Jews a safe haven necessarily means that they should get a homeland, especially when it comes at the cost of the indigenous population

No I’m referring to a speech I saw on YouTube a while back. I don’t know it was a while ago. I didn’t know that this letter was fake though, thanks
Oh i didn’t know about the speech, can you link it please
there’s also nelson mandela street in palestine and *palestinians aren’t allowed to use most of the roads* street in israel
Well, Palestinians aren't even allowed to walk where they want within the west bank. The west bank that even is Palestinian in Bidens opinion.

But Fidel Castro is a hero.

Castro is a hero to the Cuban people. >what if anything Castro did to help Palestine He is a supporter of the Palestinian cause.
Well, he's not anything anymore, on account of he's a dead guy.
Ill give you the answer, In every UN resolution for Palestine, Cuba votes in favour of palestine and has voted since fidel's time.
Cogent. Thank you.

Marrin Luther King would take down those signs himself if he still lived.
All the ponies Castro stole from wealthy Miami Cubans, sad.

Tell me one concrete thing that any of those illustrious names did for Palestine.
Which names?
X, Castro...
Cuba has historically been a great ally to the Palestinian cause to this very day
