Winston Churchill (30 November 1874 – 24 January 1965) was a British Conservative Party politician who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom twice, first from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. He presided over Britain throughout most of the Second World War, the Bengal famine of 1943 (a famine in present-day India and Bangladesh which killed an estimated 3 million people), and the accession and coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
Churchill was a racist, an antisemite,[1] and an imperialist. He defended the colonisation of Australia and the Americas, stating that the indigenous peoples were racially inferior.[2] And during the 1943 famine in British-ruled Bengal, he blamed the Bengalis for "breeding like rabbits."[3]
Quotes
“I am strongly in favor of using poisoned gas against uncivilized tribes.”[4]
“I will not pretend that, if I had to choose between communism and Nazism, I would choose communism.”[5]
“To feel deep concern about the armed power of Germany is in no way derogatory to Germany. On the contrary, it is a tribute to the wonderful and terrible strength which Germany exerted in the Great War, when almost single-handed she fought nearly all the world and nearly beat them... One may dislike Hitler’s system and yet admire his patriotic achievement. If our country were defeated I hope we should find a champion as indomitable to restore our courage and lead us back to our place among the nations. I have on more than one occasion made my appeal in public that the Führer of Germany should now become the Hitler of peace."[6]
“I think we shall have to take the Chinese in hand and regulate them. I believe that as civilized nations become more powerful they will get more ruthless, and the time will come when the world will impatiently bear the existence of great barbaric nations who may at any time arm themselves and menace civilized nations. I believe in the ultimate partition of China—I mean ultimate. I hope we shall not have to do it in our day. The Aryan stock is bound to triumph.”[7]
“In violent opposition to all this sphere of Jewish effort rise the schemes of the International Jews. The adherents of this sinister confederacy are mostly men reared up among the unhappy populations of countries where Jews are persecuted on account of their race. Most, if not all, of them have forsaken the faith of their forefathers, and divorced from their minds all spiritual hopes of the next world. This movement among the Jews is not new. From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky, Bela Kun, Rosa Luxemburg, and Emma Goldman, this world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the Nineteenth Century; and now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads and have become practically the undisputed masters of that enormous empire. There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution by these international and for the most part atheistical Jews. It is certainly a very great one; it probably outweighs all others. With the notable exception of Lenin, the majority of the leading figures are Jews.”[1]
