Churchillian anti-semitism from 1918




On December 26th, 1918, Winston Churchill wrote to the recently
re-elected British Prime Minister David Lloyd-George (who was then
deciding on who to include and where in his government) stating:
Here is the letter about the new Government which you have asked me to write you. 
... there is a point about Jews which occurs to me—you must not have too many of them. ... 
Three Jews among only 7 Liberal cabinet ministers might I fear give rise to comment.
