I'm currently reading Prisoner of Love (1986) by Jean Genet, which is a memoir about his time spent in Palestine and with the Black Panthers. This is a quote from a Palestinian man whose monologue about Palestine's treatment by the West Genet has written down.

(Caveat for anyone interested: Genet's morals and thematic obsessions are very weird and not at all straightforward, nor are they totally altruistic. Not that he's attempting to exploit either group in any underhanded way, more that his reasons for support are based in his strange personal ideology rather than a true belief in their causes.)
