Sir Winston Churchill. NOT an anti-Semite

Sir Winston Churchill is rightly regarded as one of the seminal figures of the Twentieth Century. However, there has always been an undercurrent of whispering, something alone the lines of "Well, you know, he didn't like the Jews too much........."

Turns out, that is not the case: http://www.opinionjournal.com/la/?id=110010834. Given his long reputation for being a proponent of what was right, as opposed to being for what was politically expedient, I am unsurprised by this information.

It would have been odd if Winston Churchill had been a racist, since his mother was one fourth Iroquois Indian:

A student of history, Churchill came to feel that Judaism was the bedrock of traditional Western moral and political principles.

I wonder if he felt that the bedrock of Western society was a combination of Jewish and Christian values.
