With this saying Churchill admits that Israel is a puppet state of the British Empire, engineering Israel’s creation via Balfour to balkanize the middle east—among other Machiavellian geopolitical machinations. The implication, which goes without saying, is that all the Zionist leadership were/are British/American agents. For example, the father of the current Israeli president—Chaim Herzog—was an outright MI6 agent. Written by an Israeli. - Not sure what saying you refer to, but Israel came along after the British Empire walked away from its Palestine Mandate on 14 May 1948, leaving unresolved borders and a war in its wake. The UK, which had defense agreements with Egypt and Jordan, abstained from admitting Israel to the UN and did not recognize Israel until 1949, by which time it had almost gone to war with Israel, which shot down several RAF aircraft reconnoitering IDF positions inside Sinai. Some puppet. Arthur Balfour, incidentally, was 18 years dead before Israel was even heard of, but he did utter something appropriate: "The Rt. Hon. Gentleman has said much that is true and much that is trite, but what's true is trite and what's not trite is not true." Written by a reader of history. -RML

Nasser was greatly influenced by the Syrian media outlets in Egypt which nursed a pro-fascist narrative, thus fed public resentment of the British. Egypt was deeply divided between city inhabitants and old Egyptian villagers. Nasser and his colleagues were easily swayed by anti-British propaganda that culminated in Suez war and later authoritarian regimes

In reply to Simon Kane. I don't think "setting the Jews on them" implied that he thought of them as dogs. I think he was referring to their evident prowess at beating the Egyptians. A Jewish friend was amused by this, saying that if the Jews had as much clout as the anti-Semites claim, they would be ruling the world.

Thanks so much for this. Re: “At least not anti-Semitic” one could argue – and I would – that if the quote is true, he’s talking about Jews a if they were dogs, albeit useful dogs, which is pretty anti-Semitic.
