I don’t think you’re claiming that when MLK said “direct action”, he meant things like launching missiles, killing & raping, etc. I don’t think you believe that.

Oh I definitely do not believe that, thanks for pointing that out.

A positive peace definitely includes no missles flying, but it also includes justice.

Right, only Israel should be allowed to launch missiles and rape and kill Palestinians in its prisons where they are kept for years without charges. That's obviously what he meant.
