I'm sure MLK was wrong about many things, and here you have brought us an example. I would call this the fallacy of appeal to authority, save for the fact that MLK was not an authority on the ME. I guess it's more "appeal to a historic icon". I don't think I'd trust MLK's views on physics either.

MLK was a sort of a politician, one who received a lot of support from the American Jewish community. His mission was justice and equality for American blacks, not justice and equality for Palestinian Arabs.

He was SHOT before the first illegal settlement was built, a fact to consider. I think I can safely say that his position might very well be different today.

Consider on of his successors:
