Coincidently, last night I was perusing your book Churchill by Himself (2008), the chapter on ‘Nations,’ and saw, sadly, on page 176, Churchill’s comment on events in Palestine 85 years ago, November 24, 1938.
Churchill said: “Do not let it be forgotten that people are dying there, that they are being executed and meeting grisly deaths from day to day and week to week, while here all that can be done is to have from time to time Debates and pay each other compliments, and, above all, run no risks of taking any decision.” The only part that does not still ring true is the part about compliments!
