In September 1964, Malcolm X visited Gaza, spending two
days in the region under Egyptian control. He toured the Khan Younis refugee
camp, met Palestinian leaders and poets, and witnessed the impact of the 1956
massacre. Inspired by the experience, Malcolm wrote an essay titled "Zionist
Logic," condemning Zionism as a form of colonialism and criticizing Israel's
occupation of Palestine. His visit underscored his commitment to global
liberation struggles, linking the African American civil rights movement with
the Palestinian cause.
