Press, 2007, p46) notes that young Winston was impressed by the mourning of Disraeli in 1881 when he was six, and shared his father’s respect for Jews. Makovsky notes Lord Randolph taking him to house parties at Lord Rothschild’s house, and Winston’s friendships with Lionel Rothschild, Baron Maurice de Forest and Ernest Cassel. The latter managed some of WSC’s finances and was a lifelong friend. While none of this made him into a Zionist, it must have been part of his later pro-Zionist initiatives in Parliament and Palestine.
