Churchill and the Jews: A Lifelong Friendship by Martin Gilbert
Requirements: .ePUB, .PDF reader, 2.8 Mb
Overview: An insightful history of Churchill’s lifelong commitment both public and private to the Jews and Zionism, and of his outspoken opposition to anti-Semitism
Winston Churchill was a young man in 1894 when Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish officer in the French army, was convicted of treason and sent to Devil’s Island. Despite the prevailing anti-Semitism in England as well as on the Continent, Churchill’s position was clear: he supported Dreyfus, and condemned the prejudices that had led to his conviction.
Churchill’s commitment to Jewish rights, to Zionism and ultimately to the State of Israel never wavered. In 1922, he established on the bedrock of international law the right of Jews to emigrate to Palestine. During his meeting with David Ben-Gurion in 1960, Churchill presented the Israeli prime minister with an article he had written about Moses, praising the father of the Jewish people.
