Part B: Sources A-D are all responses to the Law of Return (1949). Why do they give such different interpretations on the aims and intentions of the Law?
Martin Luther king wrote Source A it is aimed at people who want to know about civil rights, I personnaly think that he would interpret the law of return in a religious prospect as he was not only a civil rights leader but also a Christian, Martin Luther king responds to the law of return claiming that god has fulfilled his/her promise to Jew's all around the world, he says Zionism is a dream and the dream has been granted to let them return to their homeland which is Palestine, Martin Luther king practically neglects the Arabs and how they are being thrown out of their houses, becoming refuges, and focuses on the Jews saying they will have a chance to rebuild their homeland. He may be only focusing on the Jews due to Anti-Semitism and the Holocaust and feels more sympathetic towards them. Martin Luther King intended the audience of his speech to feel sorry for the Jews as he felt himself that they had been judged harshly so this speech is slightly biased as not all people felt that way.
