There’s nothing more important on this Martin Luther King Jr. Day than to remember our nation’s preeminent civil rights hero’s greatest but possibly most ignored insight (at least since the U.S. launched its series of post 9-11 “wars on terror”):

Furthermore, the International Criminal Court (ICC), is separately investigating alleged atrocities in Gaza and the West Bank. However, Israel is not a member of the ICC and rejects its jurisdiction.
