Home › Forums › Modern Europe › World War II › Churchill article about the Jews
A link to this story was posted on Drudge today:Jews 'partly responsible' for their troubles: ChurchillI wonder why it's newsworthy now. Basically it contains statements by Winston Churchill from 1937 which are both mildly positive and negative about the Jews in Europe and elsewhere. Politically incorrect they are, but they're also made well before knowledge of the holocaust - or even the height of the holocaust - had spread. Are these comments striking or not?
I think his pointing out that because they were different was the reason they were being persecuted was a little vague and not to mention wrong. Hitler did not persecute the Jews because they were different but because they were Jews. But he did go on to praise the Jews and condem the persecutors, I really dont think he meant any disrespect towards them.
