UK bigotry, historical antisemitism 

The rhetoric in the UK about “well they should just fit in” reminded me of stuff I could swear Sir Winston Churchill said about Jewish immigrants, so I tried to find a quote, found a kinda ehh one about “well as long as they do business with non Jews and DON’T BECOME COMMUNISTS! they’re okay.” Plus a 1936 article ghost written by one of Moseley’s people, which Sir Winston backed off on ASAP.

UK bigotry, historical antisemitism 

Mostly “Sir Winston loved Jews and Zionism” with the exception of a Haaretz article about how he knew about Auschwitz before official history claims and refused to bomb camp stuff despite it being feasible and repeated requests. This I don’t think proves antisemitism per se; this reads as one of Sir Winston’s decisions like Gallipoli or the Pelopponesian campaign where other people died for what he was certain for whatever anglocentric reason was a great idea.
