<i>Besides there is no way the senior pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church is going to be anti-Israel or anti-Semitic. Martin Luther King, Sr. and Jr. were pastors there! The congregation would not tolerate it.</i>
This is about the same as saying “there is no way a country as cultured and tolerant as Germany would engage in or tolerate such behavior”
Not to necessarily compare the circumstances.Only the sentiment.
