He also visited Khan Yunis refugee camp in Palestine and heard Rashid's first hand account of his escape from the village in 1956 when the occupation invaded Gaza and carried out what came to be known as the Khan Yunis Massacre, when 275 Palestinians were murdered in cold blood.
The only thing MalcolmX in my opinion didn't know or maybe did not have enough time to notice was how ppl who looked like him in Gaza were looked upon and called Abeed(Slaves),.. OR perhaps X knew it, was aware of it, BUTT, couldn't say it out loud in America because the image of the nation of Islam among negroes at the time being was getting big respect. So of course Malcolmx chose not to screw up and was kinda forced to keep quiet about Arab racism and/or discrimination against Afro-Arabs. LOL, hey, can you imagine MalcolmX after his trips to Mecca and Egypt telling Negroes upon his return to America that Muslims in the Middle-east don't like us either, Lawwwwd, hahahaha?? That would be a complete mental disaster for Black Americans who embraced Islam as the best thing ever partly because of the NOI.
Anyway, I've NEVER heard Malcolmx speak about Arab slavery or Arab racism, NEVER. Not even one word. It is impossible that X giving the hundreds of books he had read in jail and out of jail NOT to know about the Arab slavery of Blacks. I'm sure he was aware of it. BUT every injustices against Black ppl Malcolmx openly spoke about was the European racism. As if everybody else was cool with Blackness. I wish if Malcolm was alive today, I'll be the first one to call him and be like : "Mr X do you feel like going for a tour to West Papua? The oppressors there Mr X are not white, they are asian-Indonesians and worse, they are Muslims just like you Mr X, and they are killing Black ppl(West Papuans) like flies in Indonesia. LOL
