Antiracism writer Tim Wise checked the citation, which claimed that it originated from a “Letter to an Anti-Zionist Friend” in an August, 1967 edition of Saturday Review. In an article on January, 2003, essay he declared that he found no letters from Dr. King in any of the four August, 1967 editions. The authors of this essay verified Wise’s discovery. The letter was commonly cited to also have been published in a book by Dr. King entitled, “This I Believe: Selections from the Writings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.” No such book was listed in the bibliography provided by the King Center in Atlanta, nor in the catalogs of several large public and university libraries..
What I read, was that he was a strong Christian who thought he could convert Jews to Christianity. But he failed, and thus soured him.
Not sure I can find that article, but I can find plenty from reputable sources that show his views on Israel were more complicated then the widely cherry picked excerpts in wide circulation suggest..
