Malcom X… he’s the one who said Neo-Nazis are actually Jews and went around talking about how his movement was being sabotaged by a Jewish conspiracy, right?
It’s almost as if people should read up on the people they quote to understand the underlying purpose of the quotes they are quoting before quoting them.
This quote is from his interview with Alex Haley before his assassination and the writing of his autobiography. Note, this was after his trip to Mecca and his conversion to Sunni Islam, where he renounced antisemitism and declared that we are “all God’s children.” He had left the Nation of Islam before this, where they met with the Nazis because they had common goals. He later admonished this meeting with Rockwell. The previous commenter doesn’t think you have the ability to think for yourself. You do.
I recommend everyone read the Autobiography of Malcolm X. He was a complex individual, as we all are. He made mistakes and became a better person despite them. He wasn’t perfect. None of us are. But his contribution to race advancement during the Civil Rights Movement was not insignificant.
Wow, this is the first time I’ve heard people shit talking Malcolm X. Would you consider yourself a white moderate? Just trying to understand where you’re coming from
I think the problem people have with the quote is that it ignores that religion is the main oppressor. Without the Islamists and the right wing Jews, Palistinians would have a chance at freedom.
Which religion advocates for murdering your neighbor? Religion is a tool used to oppress. The oppressors are people acting in their own self interests, contradicting their professed religions. Ilan Pappe disagrees about this conflicts religious origins.
The state of Israel does not represent all Jews. Many Jews, including Raz Segal, a genocide and Holocaust professor, denounce what is happening in Gaza.

Edit: oh yeah, and whose meetings were attended by George Lincoln Rockwell and members of the American Nazi Party . Or is that a different Malcolm X your altright dogwhistle trash meme seems to be quoting?

Is the quote untrue? Are Palestinians not oppressed?

Oh look… the edgelord atheist who is still sore because his parents forced him to go to Sunday School has decided to show up.
Noone is hating the Palestinians though. Only Hamas (who definitely at least don’t care about the Palestinians)
So, they’re not oppressed? Maybe a definitive statement might help.
Riiiight… Palestinians (somehow) forced the genocidal white supremacist settler-colonialist state of Israel to perpetrate genocide on Palestinians.
What else do you have, apologist? Auschwitz was just a holiday resort with really bad press, maybe?
This feels more like left wing shit to me. A lot of left wingers these days are dog whistling anti-semitism. Sad state of affairs.

Do tell… have you right-wingers now finally decided on whether you hate Jewish people or Muslim people the most?
If not, will you be reaching a consensus soon?
