I am interested in learning more about earlier forms of Zionism that were radical, leftist, and pursuing just solutions to the protection of the Jewish people that don't trample the rights of others, as is currently happening in Israel. What leftist/socialist/marxist Zionist groups used to be active in the US (or anywhere) that proposed something other than the state of Israel as a homeland for the Jews, and what happened to them? What is the history of alternative Zionist movements? Are there forms of Zionism that aren't inherently based on the displacement/discrimination against other groups, as is happening in Palestine now? Are there Zionist groups operating now that have rejected Israel's policies of human rights abuses? How have current alternative Zionist groups articulated solutions to the current crisis in Israel/Palestine?

answer:
"The past is prophetic in that it asserts loudly that wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows." This is a quote from the speech Dr. King gave on Feb. 25, 1967, in Los Angeles, entitled "The Casualties of the War in Vietnam." The text is available here. Thanks for your question! |

question / pregunta:
Dr. King is reported to have said, "Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows." September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, for example, takes their name from this quote, and Coretta Scott King used a similar phrasing in her speech, referencing her husband. In a few places, the quote is reported as ending simply "...carving out tomorrows." Yet I cannot find anywhere a direct reference to where this was said. The quotation books I have don't include that among his quotes, and all the references I can find online are unsourced. I know he often said similar things in different speeches, so I know different versions of the same idea might exist. My question is: Did Dr. King ever say this or something like it? And if so, when and where? Thanks!
