Historian Richard Langworth edits the Churchill Centre’s journal Their Finest Hour. Today at the Centre’s website he posted a statement that began:
A lifelong supporter of Zionism and the Jewish people, Winston Churchill is now being accused of anti-semitism on the strength of an alleged article of his, making the rounds of the internet.But Churchill wasn’t an anti-semite, closet or otherwise. Langworth leaves no doubt about that. You can read his statement here.
Informed of a 1937 article draft in the Churchill Archives, accusers say it proves Churchill's lifelong sympathy for the Jews was hypocrisy—that Churchill was, ipso facto, a closet anti-semite. […]
By the time you finish reading Langworth’s statement, I think you'll agree the Cambridge University historian who’s just suggested Churchill was an anti-semite, Dr. Richard Toye, is himself a “magician” trying to make something out of nothing.
