These images were carefully compiled by a Catholic to show the degree of malevolence in both eras. They were intended as a critique of the conduct of the state of Israel, not the Israeli people and not Jews.
Warning: some images include graphic results of violence.

Also consider a few words from the King:
“As I have walked among the desperate, rejected, and angry young men, I have told them that Molotov cocktails and rifles would not solve their problems. I have tried to offer them my deepest compassion while maintaining my conviction that social change comes most meaningfully through nonviolent action. But they ask–and rightly so–what about Vietnam? They ask if our own nation wasn’t using massive doses of violence to solve its problems, to bring about the changes it wanted. Their questions hit home, and I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today–my own government. For the sake of those boys, for the sake of this government, for the sake of the hundreds of thousands trembling under our violence, I cannot be silent.”
–Martin Luther King, Jr., “Beyond Vietnam — A Time to Break Silence” (April 4, 1967 speech)
