Winston Churchill is one of my most respected figures in the 20th Century, and to me, his imperfections (of which he had many) contribute to making him the historical figure I respect.

Thank you for posting this. Granted, people who don’t read the article, or who read it insubstantially, are as likely to pull out of it the same things CNN would and paint Churchill as an anti-semitic. That is the result of living in a world where people are inundated with a firehose of information, and their awareness of issues is very broad, but depth of understanding is very shallow.

My impression is that people reading this, who are predisposed to hate someone like Winston Churchill, will fixate on sections on “International Jews” and “Terrorist Jews” in order to paint him as an anti-semite.

In reality, Churchill understood Communism and its hazard to prosperity, peace, freedom, and life long before the hundreds of millions of people murdered under its banner around the world made most (but definitely not all) of us aware of the scourge of socialism and Communism.

He was clearly a visionary, and he viewed Islam in much the same way, confirming his status as someone who could clearly see certain things long before most others did.

And in the section on “International Jews” I presume he is characterizing the likes of George Soros that we see today.

Yep. Worth noting that this article by Churchill was published in 1920.
