It's also just not really true. If you look inot what he actually says it more paints a picture of someone who isn't very educated on zionism wanting peace in the middle east and equality for all. which isnt' what zionism is. There seems to be a dedicated effort to try to twist the truth and even outright lie about what martin luther king believed about zionism. But no it was pretty milquetoast centrist take on israel/palestine. Which is definitely still a bad take, especially considering some of his peers like malcom x were very vocally opposed to israel. But it's not zionism.
