The concluding quote hits hard, from Zhang Chengzhi, a Chinese Hui Muslim writer who invented the term “Red Guard” during the Cultural Revolution in his middle-school years and later devoted his entire life to writing about Palestine and the Islamic World for Chinese audiences (he is probably the most influential Muslim writer in China). In a 2009 article in which he commemorated a group of Japanese Maoists who participated in armed struggles in Palestine in cooperation with the PFLP in the 1970s-1990s, Zhang wrote this prophecy: "Persistent projects aiming at delegitimizing revolutions are doomed to be futile, because domination, oppression, inequality, injustice, and human beings’ intrinsic nature of pursuing truth, all of these things will promote people to again reconsider, again respect, and eventually again re-embrace revolutions." That's why the Palestinian cause can never be defeated: it touches on something truly universal that everyone who's ever been oppressed can relate to and that no empire, no matter how powerful, can extinguish.
