Watch the REAL Malcolm X Link the African American and Palestinian Struggles

African American Muslim and human rights leader Malcolm X didn't often speak on the Palestinian struggle for national restoration and self-determination to Western audiences.
However, when he was in the so-called Middle East, he regularly spoke and wrote about it, most extensively in a Sept. 17, 1964, article in "The Egyptian Gazette," which I unearthed in 1979: www.malcolm-x.....
THE REAL MALCOLM X
This video is one of the rare recorded instances of the REAL Malcolm X -- not some poorly-written, ahistorical, AI-generated fake, pandering to what some people would LIKE to hear ( • The Viral Malcolm X "S... ) -- speaking about it in the West.
The full context of, and a link to, the documentary short from which it's taken is in the description of this video: • No Outcry: Malcolm X C... .
His mention of Palestinians (1:13) was during an interview at Paris, France, from Nov. 23-24, 1964, just before the 39-year-old president of the Sunni Islamic Muslim Mosque, Inc. (MMI) and chairman of the secular global black nationalist/pan-Africanist Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU), recently emerged as a freedom fighter of global stature, returned home after an 18-week tour abroad.
ONE STRUGGLE
This included a visit from Sept. 4-6, 1964, to the Gaza Strip, then under Egyptian administration, where he toured and filmed Palestinian refugee camps at Khan Yunis -- an experience said to have brought him to tears. In a letter to an aide on the eve of his visit, he explained why it was important to establish such relationships:
“Everything I do or say over here is designed to connect us with the World Problems (show our understanding of them as well as interest) and to drive home the fact that their problems are ours and ours theirs - the problems are inseparably the same."
FROM SECTARIAN TO REVOLUTIONARY
In the 11-month span from his break from Elijah Muhammad's pseudo-Islamic, "race"-centered, apolitical Nation of Islam cult on March 8, 1964, to his assassination by that group on Feb. 21, 1965, Malcolm X, whose Muslim name was El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, underwent an astonishingly swift and dramatic evolution -- a public metamorphosis with few historical precedents (www.marxists.o..., pp. 25-29)
Beginning as a sectarian leader, he eventually became a mature revolutionary, who was treated as such by the Argentine-Cuban guerilla commander Ernesto (Che) Guevara, Egyptian President Gamal Abdul-Nasser and Ghanaian President Kwame Nkrumah, and a continents-bridging Sunni imam, who was forging pioneering links between African American believers and the broader Muslim world.
WE CHARGE GENOCIDE!
He also worked to "internationalize" the civil-rights struggle by elevating it to one for human rights so that it could be brought before the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, where the U.S. could be charged with genocide against African Americans, as the NAACP's Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois and the Civil Rights Congress' William L. Patterson had attempted to do in 1947 and 1951, respectively.
In this clip, he cites as examples the UN appeals of "black" Africans fighting against then-apartheid South Africa's "white"-minority settler regime and Portugal's colonial domination of Angola and Mozambique, the UN investigation of the Soviet Union's (Russia) brutal suppression of the 1956 Hungarian revolt and the "Arab refugee problem," created in 1948 when Zionist settlers violently dispossessed Arabs of their historic lands.
HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT
Despite the fact this film has been available since 1967, not a single Malcolm X biographer (all of whom are rank incompetents, save for Peter Goldman [www.amazon.com...] and Louis A. DeCaro, Jr. [www.amazon.com...]) realized that Malcolm X was referring to the PALESTINIANS, who had he visited three months before.
WORLD PRESSURE
While the historic actions, or lack thereof, of the UN might bring into question his faith that it could be such an "avenue," except as a platform, his belief that "some meaningful results" could be brought about if "the whole world can see that our plight is wrong" and the "moral support of the entire world" could be brought "on our side against this force that has stood in our path in the past" remains relevant for the African American and Palestinian struggles.

If only the United Nations was able to do anything about any of these problems. Unfortunately getting your plight before the world doesn't equal solution to the problem because those powers that caused it, are still in control.
