a desperate activist tells Malcolm X that the situation is hopeless as there are too many powerful interests and too few to oppose them. Malcolm's response is as important today as it was then: "Never let your enemy tell you how many of you there are."

"The majority of the people aren't imperialists, but the government is, the structure is, the power faction is." Right now the majority oppose the Gaza genocide, but the media and political class support it, and use their power to make genocidal Zionists look like the victim

more words from Malcolm that are as relevant today as when he spoke them with such charisma and eloquence. "I pray that all the fear that has ever been in your heart will be taken out." To all those protesting the genocide, listen to all of Malcolm's words, he's speaking to you!

Malcolm X visited Gaza in 1964, spent time in the Khan Younis refugee camp, and pledged his solidarity and support for the Palestinian liberation struggle. And his analysis of genocidal Zionism is brilliant:

Hi, this from my 20 year plus research on Malcolm in MENA/SWANA—it’s from my dissertation in 2017 and you can find more details here

For me, Malcolm X is better than MLK Jr. For many reasons, now I can add the Gaza situation to that. MLK had some very unclear and milquetoast comments. He didn’t seem to want to anger Israel. Malcolm would never take the easy way out.

An absolutely brilliant analysis of zionism, colonialism, imperialism, and the use of "aid" and "development" as they're called now as imperialist tools (dollarism). Imagine a world where he had lived and lead us. They couldn't allow it.
