"He referred to Palestinians as "barbaric hordes who ate little but camel dung." Sounds like he was a little soft on them.

Churchill's racism was wrapped up in his Tory zeal for empire, one which irked his wartime ally, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. FDR seemed A-OK with Stalin's zeal for empire, his OTHER wartime ally.

I can only wish WC was still around to comment on the points his detractors try to make about him.

The WaPo birdcage liner decrying Churchill? Therefore my opinion of him went up another couple of notches.

Well, you can’t get a more vacuous context than the WashPost...

BHO had Churchill’s bust returned to Great Britain?
I thought the bust was returned to the British embassy in D.C. - - -

Is it really so surprising or condemnable that a British statesman should defend the British empire and disparage its opponents? Churchill, who before holding office soldiered on the Northwest frontier of India, fought an insurgent Muslim army at Omdurman in the Sudan, and reported on the Boer War was hardly the stuff of an anti-imperialist.
Also, can it really be said that Churchill and the British are to blame for the brutality of the Indian partition and continuing animosities between Hindus and Muslims? After nearly seventy years of independence, they remain much at odds, with India's small Christian communities often persecuted by both.
Is Churchill truly to blame for India's sectarian violence today? Or might it be taken as supporting his pessimism about Indian self-government?

At first I thought this might be about the real black mark on Churchill's ledger, his acquiescence to the forced repatriation of Russian WW2 POWs back to Uncle Joe's tender mercies.
But then I realized that this was the WaPo, after all.....
To: Dansong
Perversely that might be the aim of the writer. Even some of the less rational leftists are starting to get nervous about the Mohammedans but there are just certain things they can't actually say or visibly support, but they can get it out there.
When the left finally begins to panic we will see the beginning of real war hysteria as only the left can create, especially if they see World War with Islam as a great opportunity to totalize their rule.

In which MSM the only savages today are those who cling to guns and religion, and are subject to economic sanctions for not saluting the flag of Sodom.
