During his next stop in Cairo, he met with the newly founded Palestine Liberation Organization. The trip inspired him to publish an article in the Egyptian Gazette September 17th 1964 in which he famously wrote that "The zionist argument to justify israel's present occupation of Arab Palestine has no intelligent or legal basis in history."
Today as we look back on Malcolm's legacy, we also uplift the Palestinian poet, intellectual, professor and martyr Refaat Alareer, who like Malcolm, was assassinated.
In 2021, on the 56th anniversary of Malcolm's martyrdom, Refaat recounted that years prior in 2004 he "was asked in an interview for a scholarship who my role model was. I took a breath, smiled, and unflinchingly proudly, said, ‘Malcolm X.’ The interviewer said, ‘But he was violent!’ I spoke for 5 minutes nonstop about brother Malcolm X. I won the grant. It was one of my proudest moments."
Refaat's interview in 2004 took place exactly 40 years after Malcolm's trip to Gaza in 1964. Despite the decades that separated them, Refaat became immersed in Malcolm's writings and his teachings, across space and time, with Gaza at the center.
In 2012, during an event commemorating Malcolm X at the Centre for Political and Development Studies in Gaza, Refaat was invited to speak. During his talk, Refaat reflected that he was first introduced to Malcolm in his early 20s, which is when he first read his autobiography.
"All Palestinians admire him, or should admire him, for many reasons," Refaat declared in his talk. “As Palestinians, we can use different means and methods to liberate ourselves, to get rid of the occupation and the evils of the occupation, ‘by any means necessary,’ like he said."
“If you don’t read him," Refaat continued, "there is a blank area in your mind or heart that needs to be filled.”
Malcolm filled this area in Refaat's mind, and countless others through the generations, from Harlem to Gaza and around the world. During the Great Return March in Gaza in 2018, Refaat showed up to one of the demonstrations with a handwritten sign featuring a quote of Malcolm's: "If you want something, you'd better make some noise."
Like Malcolm, Refaat rejected any and all attempts to condemn and vilify the resistance of colonized people in the face of genocide. As Malcolm once said, "We need allies who are going to help us achieve a victory, not allies who are going to tell us to be nonviolent."
Malcolm and Refaat, like Gaza, continue to teach us what it means to fight for our collective humanity in the face of oppression, and will continue to inspire generation after generation until liberation within our lifetime.
As Malcolm taught us: "Power in defense of freedom is greater than power in behalf of tyranny and oppression, because power, real power, comes from conviction which produces action, uncompromising action. It also produces insurrection against oppression. This is the only way you end oppression — with power."

GENOCIDE PROFITEERS DISGUISED AS “CREATIVE” COMPANIES IN BROOKLYN NAVY YARD 🚨
Would you expect companies fueling war, genocide and killing civilians to be listed under Fine Arts & Fashion?
That’s exactly what’s happening at Brooklyn Navy Yard.
🔴 Easy Aerial → Listed as “Fine Arts/Photography” but actually manufactures drones used in “israeli” airstrikes that kill civilians.
🔴 Crye Precision → Listed as “Fashion/Accessories” but actually produces body armor & gear for “israeli” Occupation Forces carrying out deadly assaults on Palestinian communities.
They are hiding behind creative industry labels while profiting from war, genocide, occupation, and mass killing of civilians. NYC, don’t let them get away with it.

Today on the 60th anniversary of his assassination and martyrdom on February 21st 1965, we honor the life and legacy of Malcolm X, El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz.
Through his lifelong commitment to linking the Black liberation struggle in the United States to the struggle of all oppressed people resisting colonialism and imperialism around the world, Malcolm redefined what it meant to fight for freedom. Malcolm's revolutionary internationalism and travels across Asia, Africa and beyond, led him to taking an unwavering stance in support of Palestine and against zionism as part of a worldwide struggle against oppression and injustice.
Just months before his death at the age of 39, Malcolm traveled to Palestine in September 1964 and spent two days in Gaza. In Gaza Malcolm visited Palestinian refugee camps established following the Nakba in 1948, met with the poet Harun Hashim Rashid and prayed in local masjids.

🚨UPDATE: As of 3:30pm, Abdullah is still in state custody and is waiting to be arraigned. He was treated at a hospital and transferred to central bookings around 5am. He was with an attorney and family member in the hospital and they have reported he is conscious and alert. An attorney attempted to deliver prescribed medication but was turned away by police and court staff. We expect him to be arraigned later today and will provide updates as we receive them. Abdullah has shown up for his community and his people endlessly, it’s time we show up for him. For now, we ask that friends and comrades post the statement and graphics on the WOL Twitter/X account to expose the NYPDs violence against not only Abdullah, but dozens of other New Yorkers. Folks should also feel encouraged to make their own statements to show wider community support for Abdullah and all New Yorkers of conscience protesting against this genocide. NYPD violence cannot continue to be normalized. #WeStandWithAbdullah

For nearly one year, the NYPD has brutally assaulted, hospitalized, and arrested thousands of protestors resisting the ongoing genocide in Palestine and now Lebanon. We have strength in numbers. When we have more bodies on the street, they cannot control us. Now more than ever, we need every ally of Palestine to show up and condemn all forms of repression across the movement.
Join our Demands:
•Resignation of Eric Adams
•Disband the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group
•Closure of the NYPD Office in occupied Palestine
