"In early September Malcolm took a two-day trip to Gaza, meeting a number of local government officials and visiting several Palestinian refugee camps near the Israeli border. He prayed at a local masjid, accompanied by several religious leaders, before holding a press conference in Gaza's parliament building. The Nation had admired the state of Israel as a concrete expansion of Jewish Zionism; henceforth Malcolm would view Israel as a neocolonial proxy for U.S. imperialism.-Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention (2011) by Manning Marable, pg. 367.
