Did you know?

Israel is the only country outside of the Unites States that marks Martin Luther King Day annually. This special day is marked with a special session in parliament.

Why?

Because Israel chooses to embrace the legacy of Dr. King for it exemplifies values of hope and peaceful co-existence between people of diverse backgrounds.

Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King, were great friends to Israel and the Jewish people. Both were active in the battle against anti-Semitism.

“Peace for Israel means security, and we must stand with all our might to protect its right to exist, its territorial integrity. I see Israel as one of the great outposts of democracy in the world, and a marvelous example of what can be done, how desert land can be transformed into an oasis of brotherhood and democracy. Peace for Israel means security and that security must be a reality.” -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
