My random observations on this article:
1) Disraeli was, at least, a conservative in the Anglo tradition. There is a difference between British conservatism as traditionally understood and those of US founding principles. He was a mixture of unabashed imperialist and follow-the-spirit-of-the-ages type of do-liberal-policies conservative. For a country with a defined principles as stands, it is not wise to blind copy from a politician coming from such an alien political culture.
2) This is one of the characters you can stuck back at the British anti-American leftists when they rant on imperialism and Bush etc. Other names include Joseph Chamberlain, Rudyard Kipling, etc.
3) Do today's British youths - the vulgar generation, who know nothing but sex, David Beckham, cannbis-legalization, The Verve, the Osbornes, Kyoto Protocol's feel-good appearance, really know who Disraeli was?
From what I read, British schools still do a better job teaching history than we do. So students could probably place Disraeli, in a Prime Minister-Victoria-Gladstone-Crimea-reformofsomething sorta way.
I wonder whether he'd find anti-Semitism worse during the Victorian period, or today?
