The ADL did start as a genuine effort to combat antisemitism prior to the state of Israel. Shortly after, it got co-opted to instead combat anti-zionism. It's never been more obvious than now that they're the Apartheid Defense League in reality
JVL is a terrible source
Jacobin has a much more in-depth article: What MLK Actually Thought About Israel and Palestine
When you look at the breadth of MLK's works, it's certainly true he had an incorrect understanding of Israel and the Zionist project. I'm not going to excuse that, even at the time there were notable figures such as Malcolm X, Einstein, Hannah Ardent, ect, that correctly identified early Israel as a fascist settler-colonial project. It's an important blind spot of his at acknowledge and address.
Nevertheless, MLK's thoughts on colonialism and segregation from South Africa and America, can correctly be applied to Israel, and make it obvious how critical International opposition such as Boycott Divestment and Sanctions are to collapse the fascist regime, as it was for Apartheid South Africa.
We need this kind of antifascist organization everywhere in the US and Europe rn
The one exception being a used pixel phone if you're looking to use grapheneos, at least until they allow a non-pixel to be used with gos
Not surprising, considering I have that user tagged Zionist for repeatedly defending Israel

Quote from Introduction
First documented in the late Bronze Age, about 3200 years ago, the name Palestine (Greek: Παλαιστίνη; Arabic: , Filastin), is the conventional name used between 450 BC and 1948 AD to describe a geographic region between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River and various adjoining lands. This work explores the evolution of the concept, histories, identity, languages and cultures of Palestine from the Late Bronze Age to the modern era. Moreover, Palestine history is often taught in the West as a history of a land, not as Palestinian history or a history of a people. This book challenges colonial approach to Palestine and the pernicious myth of a land without a people (Masalha 1992, 1997) and argues for reading the history of Palestine with the eyes of the indigenous people of Palestine. The Palestinians are the indigenous people of Palestine; their local roots are deeply embedded in the soil of Palestine and their autochthonous identity and historical heritage long preceded the emergence of a local Palestinian nascent national movement in the late Ottoman period and the advent of Zionist settler-colonialism before the First World War.

Yemen is peak anti-colonialism. Which unfortunately comes with religious conservatism as a reaction against colonial forces. Fanon discusses this at length in the context of Algeria.
Conservatism sure does
Left-wing populism actually addresses the root issues of affordability, unlike right-wing populism
