Good read. Fascinatingly shortsighted on Churchill's part, that he wasn't able to see any of the potential monkey's paw curses that could arise from wholesale ethnostate-craft. Did he think that the Bolshevik influence of international Jewry (as he defines it - not me) would just die with the founding of Israel? That they wouldn't synergise as a foreign policy extension of the new state? Hard to fathom the thinking of these times. Hindsight's 20/20 sure, but that flies as an excuse when I screw up a move in Civ, not so much for those who eagerly play with the fates of actual nations.
If you ask me, that was him drawing attention to himself, waving his hands in the crowd of indistinguishable cattle, as if to say “I could be very valuable to you, or very detrimental...”
Both parties chose to take the route of least resistance, and we have his stratospheric rise to power after this, predicated on his slaughter of Germany

He wouldn't be the first person to think the jews were going to go to Israel and never be a bother again. Even Hitler suggested that at first.

But what do I know
