  • He was “the first member of his people in England to assist the government in financial matters.” (148)
  • Moved from Portugal to the Canary Islands, which were in the hands of the Jews
  • Privileged by the government
    • “In 1650, war broke out between England and Portugal. As a Portuguese subject, Carvajal was an enemy alien and there was nothing to stop the state from confiscating all of his assets. However, not only was he spared such a fate, but he was also assured by a State Council resolution of September 4th, 1650 that he would not be troubled and that he could continue his trade” (149)
  • Evident corruption, bribes, stolen goods; used connections in government to avoid punishment, and punish enemies (149-50)

  • A kind of Rothschild figure in his day
    • “Mendes was heavily involved in the Jewish banks of Lisbon and Antwerp, which formed a huge corporation and played the same role in Europe at the end of the 16th century as the Rothschild banking house did in the 19th and 20th centuries.” (151)
  • A close collaborator of the spy leader Carvajal (152)

Oliver Cromwell

  • Jewish Spies on His Highness’s Secret Service
    • “Jews' espionage successes contributed significantly to thwarting the actions of Cromwell's numerous enemies on the Continent.” (162)
    • Cromwell faced an uphill battle, but “the precise information provided by Jewish espionage enabled Cromwell to nip the entire Royalist expedition plan in the bud by unexpectedly seizing his opponents' fleet at Ostend.” (162)
    • See ‘Thurloe Papers’ under Evidence, which are the smoking gun for Carvajal’s Jewish spy ring for Cromwell.
    • Also received detailed intelligence from Jews regarding colonies
      • See [[Villains (Jewry in England-- Peter Aldag)#Simon [Jacob] de Caceres|Simon [Jacob] de Caceres]] under Villains. [insert revision]
  • Cromwell was likely dependent on Jewish capital.
    • The Jewish historian Wolf says it outright (168)
    • Like William the Conqueror, who brought Jews to England for their money
      • “One example is that of the immigrant Jew Diego Rodrigues Marques, who, with the help of relatives, brought £15,000 capital plus merchandise to London when he emigrated from Lisbon, as can be seen from his public will.” (168)

      • Explained why he wanted to settle Jews in England (185)
      • Mostly, it is indulgent fluff, but it also contains valuable expressions of Jewish money obsession and bribery.
        • Profit is “a most powerfull motive, and which all the World preferres before all other things: and therefore we shall handle that point first”. (186)
        • “God gave the Jews the natural instinct to make money and ‘thrive in Riches and possessions’” (186)

  • The Scandal
    • Autumn of 1711 (276)
    • Marlborough was using large sums of money from bribes, public funds for himself. (276)
    • Medina quickly informed on him, and he took the fall. (277)
    • Even mainstream historians largely agree that he was guilty and that he was bribed in some form by Jews. (283)

Sampson Gideon

  • 1699-1762
  • ‘The Pillar of State Credit’ (358)
  • The Rothschild of his day (358)
  • Connections all over the world (358)
  • Fund raised against the Spanish (358)
  • Doubled his money overnight with a scheme
    • “However, he was to experience the typical Jewish financier’s career trajectory in the turmoil of 1745-1746, which allowed him to nearly double his fortune in one year. At this time, as is well known, the Young Pretender was marching inexorably on London, and the government's defeat seemed certain. Everyone was therefore trying to get rid of their government securities as quickly as possible, which ultimately had little commercial value due to a lack of buyers. Then, to everyone's astonishment, Gideon began buying up all of the government securities available. All of his cash and all of his credit was exploited to this end, and he came to hold as much paper as all the remaining speculators put together. After a short time, once it was clear that there was no longer a danger of the government being ousted, the stocks and bonds recovered, which meant that, in one fell swoop, Gideon nearly doubled his fortune.” (358)
  • Helped write official government plan: PM Pelham called on him for help with interest rates on government securities
    • Later helped with government funding (358)
  • Hanover loan
    • During the Seven Years’ War, “the government ‘almost wholly relied on’ Sampson Gideon for raising the funds needed to prosecute the war.” (359)
  • One of the first intermarriages
    • “Gideon also made history in another way, as he was one of the first leading Jews to marry an English woman. His wife Jane… came from a respectable family.” (359)
      • His son had full privileges. (359)
  • A supposed convert to Christianity who avoided Jews to some extent, but still kept his Jewish identity in large measure (360)
  • A special law was pushed through Parliament just for him to own land as an exception. (361)
    • An important step towards Jewish naturalization
    • Walpole introduced the bill.
  • A force behind the Naturalization Bill
    • “Given all of this, it should now be quite clear that the Jewish Naturalization Act did not come into being without influence from the Hebrews. The Jewish side also openly admits that it was Gideon who, at the same time as the bill was going through Parliament, wanted to have the question clarified as to whether Jews could become property owners or not. As a result, one could presume that Gideon would see the law as a step closer to his desired goal.” (361)
      • “Jew Israel Solomons, who puts forward his theory in no uncertain terms:
  • It may be conjectured that Gideon undoubtedly exercised great influence with the Pelhams in promoting the Naturalisation Bill...
  • Gideon, perhaps from purely personal or selfish motives, was anxious for the success of the project. Should the Bill pass, it might be the stepping-stone to further concessions. He was an ambitious man, eager for social aggrandisement, with hopes of a seat in Parliament and a place in the baronetage.” (361)

Sir Robert Walpole

  • Nexus of corruption in 18th-century England
  • Pushed a special bill through Parliament for Sampson Gideon to become a landholder (361)
  • Walpole “drove from power every man of real talent who might possibly become his rival, and especially repelled young men of promise, character, and ambition…” (364)
  • A stock-jobber, stock market manipulator (364)
  • A role model for the corrupt Pelhams, who pushed through the 1753 Naturalization Bill
    • “Henry Pelham, who was responsible for the ‘Jew Bill’ alongside his brother, the Duke of Newcastle, also proved to be an able protégé of his friend and in-law Sir Robert Walpole.“ Even if they were completely opposite in character, they still had in common the general ruthless bribery of those who could be used to achieve their goals.” (364)
  • The corrupt Walpole’s disdain for the people’s heroic self-defense in 1753 comes through in quotes from his son.
    • “Horace Walpole, the youngest son of Sir Robert Walpole, took a similar view and saw it all as mainly a problem of ‘little curates’ and ‘drunken aldermen.’” (339)

Goldsmid Family

  • Built wealth on the Royal Exchange and dominated it
    • “More than anyone else, it was the entire Goldsmid family, initially the father Aaron, followed by his four sons George (1741-1813), Asher (d. 1822), Benjamin (1755-1808), and Abraham (1756-1810), who were to play a decisive role on the Royal Exchange.” (404)
  • Goldsmid Palace– money to power pipeline
    • “The largest and most lavish festivals of the time were celebrated in this manor house. The guests came from the cream of the English nobility, and it was considered a mark of status in high society to frequent Benjamin Goldsmid's house.” (404)
  • Lyon Goldsmid
    • Used his wealth and connections to promote Jewish emancipation
      • “...disposed of enormous wealth and had many friends among the aristocracy and the other ruling classes.” (447)

Nathan Mayer Rothschild

  • Born in Frankfurt in 1770 (407)
  • Source of family wealth: war profiteering
    • “Nathan’s father Mayer Amschel Rothschild, had accumulated vast quantities of wealth by selling his country's sons as mercenary troops for England, particularly in America and India. This ‘merchant of human flesh’ invested part of his fortune in England, and Rothschild managed it to the complete satisfaction of his employer, who was considered the richest man in Europe at the time. After his escape from Napoleon, the prince became more dependent than ever on Rothschild, which Mayer Amschel exploited to his own advantage.” (407)
    • “Rothschild ruthlessly exploited the Napoleonic turmoil in Europe.” (407)
  • After the death of the Goldsmid brothers, he took over the role of all-powerful banker on London’s Royal Exchange. (407)
  • Funded entire wars for England
    • “Only with his help was England able to send subventions to Russia, Prussia, Austria and other states during the Wars of Liberation [Wars of the Sixth Coalition]. His sophisticated system enabled the Duke of Wellington to continue campaigning in Spain. Previously, the entire campaign had often been jeopardised by a lack of money.” (407)
      • Gave him enormous influence in the English government
  • Nathan Rothschild used his loans, which many nations relied upon, to help Jews around the world. (408)
  • In England, too, Nathan Rothschild was omnipotent in the field of finance.
  • Key Force in Jewish Naturalization
    • “The Jewish side does not deny Rothschild's intervention in this regard. He tirelessly reached out to leading politicians of both sides and tried to put them under his spell.” (408)
      • Jewish writer regarding his role: “M. Rothschild has done more for the emancipation of the Jews, than Mr. O’Connell for that of the Catholics. By the magic power of wealth, he has rendered their obstinate enemies their tributaries; while, by the attractive seduction of gastronomic and musical entertainment, he has completely conquered the aversion of the aristocracy to mix with merchants and Jews; and were the whole Church of England to threaten anathemas against the frequenters of the wealthy financier’s mansion, they would certainly prefer corporeal to spiritual comforts, and disregard the threats. Those who are acquainted with the irresistible attractions which good dinners possess for the nobility, will bear me out in this assertion” (408)
  • Wealthiest man in the world
    • “The tax authorities used the figure of £100 million. He was certainly the wealthiest man in the world, and it was said in London that he paid his employees extremely poor wages.” (408)

Moses Montefiore

  • Brother-in-law of Nathan Rothschild
    • Gained most of his money through this connection (409)
  • A wealthy Jew whose main goal was emancipation (409)
  • Close with the Royal Family, especially Victoria
    • “He managed to gain the special favour of Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, the mother of the future Queen Victoria. He was also on good terms with the latter. When Victoria ascended the throne in 1837, she raised Montefiore to the knighthood [the same year that he was elected Sheriff of the City of London], and in 1846 she made him a baronet for his humanitarian services on behalf of Jews all over the world.” (409)
      • His humanitarian services?
        • Covered up the 1840 ritual murder in Damascus and also used British power and world Jewry’s resources to bully the local officials. (475)
          • See ‘1840 Ritual Murder’ under ‘Organized International Jewry’ under Themes.
          • “The prime minister of France, Syria’s main patron, told his parliament that summer that the Jews ‘have more power than they know.’” [pg. 96 of Jewish Power by JJ Goldberg]
    • See ‘Queen Victoria’ under Villains.

Abraham Israel Ricardo

  • The commissioned stockbroker for the Bevis Marks Synagogue (409)
  • Father of David Ricardo
    • “One of his sons arguably went on to become an even greater name in England. This son was David Ricardo, the financier who gained a reputation as a political economist after converting to Unitarianism.” (409)

Lionel Rothschild

  • The eldest son of Nathan Mayer Rothschild
    • Took over his father’s fortune, mission for Jewish emancipation, i.e., world domination
  • The first Jew to ever serve in Parliament.
  • One of the Triumvirate that effected Jewish emancipation in the 18th Century
    • “‘One of his [Disraeli’s] best friends was Lord Lyndhurst, who also enjoyed a close friendship with [Lionel] Rothschild — indeed, we have learned that Rothschild held large galas in his honour.' We see then, a triumvirate capable of bringing about the triumph, without a moment’s hesitation, of the Jewish cause.” (467)
  • Along with David Salomons, he pressured Parliament for admittance by repeatedly winning elections.
  • Used a variety of dirty tactics to get elected
  • Rothschild’s Chutzpah
    • Elected to an office that he couldn’t hold
      • Showed up and tried to take the Jewish oath for Parliament, instead of the required Christian one, the Oath of Abjuration (499)
        • An illegal and profane act against the country.
    • Another crooked election and another illegal swear-in attempt
      • Even more chutzpah, with traitor collaborators (500)
      • Failed again, but applied pressure to Parliament (500)
  • Disraeli used fellow Jew Rothschild for the purchase of shares in the Universal Company of the Maritime Canal of Suez instead of the Bank of England. (573)
    • An outrage, especially at 15% (573)
  • Used his Parliamentary power to aid Jewish criminals
    • Rothschild was accepted as an expert witness in the Honduras loan scandal and covered for fellow Jews. (587)
  • Used financial power to help Jews take over industries
    • Helped Marcus Samuel found the global and famous Shell Transport and Trading Company with a capital of £1,800,000 (720)
    • Chairman of the Alliance Assurance Co., which had an authorized capital of £5,450,000 (724)
      • See ‘Insurance’ under 'Jewish Influence in Britain: Emancipation to World Wars' under Themes.

David Salomons

  • Along with Lionel Nathan Rothschild, one of the two Jews who pressured Parliament for admittance by repeatedly winning elections
  • Elected Sheriff of London and Middlesex, and a deceptively titled bill was snuck through to make it legal for him to take office without taking the required Christian oath. (463)
    • A foot in the door for future Jewish victories
  • Another step: breaking into the Aldermen Council
    • Using the tactic of attrition, “David Salomons was again elected Alderman of the City of London in 1844.” This time, he got a bill passed to allow him to avoid taking the oath and still get into office. (477)
      • See ‘David’ Salomons under ‘Tactic of Attrition’ under ‘Jewish Tactic’ under Themes.
  • David Salomons’ Chutzpah
    • Applied pressure on Parliament
    • Tried Lionel Rothschild’s trick of violating Parliament, but went further and took his illegal seat after being told to withdraw. (506)
      • Increasingly more outrageous: refused to withdraw, illegally voted against the motion to have him forcibly removed, and forced them to remove him by force (507-10)
        • So outrageous that he provoked a backlash even from many former allies, both in Parliament and even in society (510-11)
    • See ‘Jewish Desecration and Chutzpah’ under Themes for the stunts of Rothschild and Salomons.

Queen Victoria

  • A philosemite from an early age, close to the Jew Moses Montefiore, raised him to knighthood when she took power (409)
    • He was given his knighthood for his role in covering up the 1840 ritual murder in Damascus and also using British power and world Jewry’s resources to bully the local officials. (475)
  • Her father, the Duke of Kent, was made president of the Jewish group, The London Society for Promoting Christianity Amongst the Jews, in 1813. (421)
  • Dependable friend of the Jews
    • “As well as the support of the government, the Jews could also count on the young, recently crowned Victoria, whose attitude ran contrary to that of her predecessor, William IV... Just as in times gone by, when the Duchess of Kent (the Queen Mother) and the Duke of Sussex equally lent the Jews their valuable help.” (466)
  • In 1868, named the Jew Disraeli as Derby’s successor as prime minister. (566)

Lord Lyndhurst

  • Life goal: to “gain the title of ‘Emancipator of the Jews’” (467)
  • American Jew (467)
  • One of the Triumvirate that effected Jewish emancipation in the 18th Century
    • “‘One of his [Disraeli’s] best friends was Lord Lyndhurst, who also enjoyed a close friendship with [Lionel] Rothschild — indeed, we have learned that Rothschild held large galas in his honour.' We see then, a triumvirate capable of bringing about the triumph, without a moment’s hesitation, of the Jewish cause.” (467)
  • Pushed through a crucial bill allowing David Salomons to be City of London Alderman, one which would pave the way for their admission to Parliament (477)
  • Stepped in and tried to protect David Salomons when he violated the laws of Parliament by introducing a bill to remove the Jewish disabilities, i.e., emancipate them. (514)
  • Repeatedly led the push and gave impassioned speeches for Jewish emancipation in the House of Lords (531, 535-536, 539)
  • When Lord Derby was orchestrating the betrayal in the House of Lords, Lyndhurst played “bad cop” and presented the more extreme bill, providing a foil for the less extreme “compromise” bill presented by Lord Lucan to be passed (540)

Lord Lucan

  • When Lord Derby was orchestrating the betrayal in the House of Lords, Lord Lucan played “good cop”. He presented the less extreme bill, which was passed, appearing more reasonable in contrast to the more extreme bill presented by Lord Lyndhurst.
  • Had previously been against Jewish emancipation, and the House of Lords had been an unbreachable obstacle for the Jews (537)
    • “Up until recently Lord Lucan had been one of the Jews’ main adversaries in the House of Lords. It therefore was a source of painful consternation to see him, for no apparent reason, suddenly declare himself to be a supporter of the Jewish cause.” (537)
  • Lord Lucan evidently had his mind changed at a fateful wine and dine conference with the Jews. (537)

Benjamin Disraeli

  • Later, Lord Beaconsfield (467)
  • A racial Jew born in 1804 (467)
  • Converted to Christianity, gained full English privileges (467)
  • “He dedicated his young adult life to literature and as a writer he primarily praised the Jewish race.”(467)
  • One of the Triumvirate that effected Jewish emancipation in the 18th Century
    • “‘One of his best friends was Lord Lyndhurst, who also enjoyed a close friendship with [Lionel] Rothschild — indeed, we have learned that Rothschild held large galas in his honour.' We see then, a triumvirate [Lord John Russell being the third member] capable of bringing about the triumph, without a moment’s hesitation, of the Jewish cause.” (467)
  • Per Newdegate, Disraeli was the one who, behind the scenes, pressured Lord Derby to go ahead with the “compromise” Jew bill scheme and also whipped other conservative members into supporting the bill. (545-546)
  • Disraeli’s views on the Jews:
    • Jews hate all of mankind justifiably because of their past mistreatment (468)
    • Jews are Communists: “the most skilful accumulators of property ally themselves with the communists: this peculiar and chosen race touch the hand of all the scum and low castes of Europe”
    • Jews are revolutionaries, but again, not their fault (468)
    • Jews are the greatest intellectuals (468)
    • Jews are spies in all nations (469)
    • Jews are strong because of their racial purity (470)
    • Jews defined by race
      • “Disraeli made no distinction between a baptised and an unbaptised Jew, but rather for him, as for us, the principle factor is race.” (470)
    • Jewish supremacist
      • Newdegate brought up Disraeli’s Jewish supremacist views in the final debates against the successful Jew bill of 1858. (546)
  • February 1868: Queen Victoria named him Prime Minister. (566)
    • Served for a short time, then again from 1874-1880, throughout was the leader of the conservatives (566)
  • Disraeli became the conservative leader.
    • Turned from sycophant to backstabber regarding Corn Laws (569-570)
      • Then reverted to protectionism (570)
      • When the Corn Laws were causing the Irish to starve during the potato famine, he supported them. Later, when the Corn Laws were the last protection of the peasant, Disraeli opposed them.
  • Disraeli scandalously plagiarized the funeral address for the former Duke of Wellington, a national hero.
  • A shapeshifter in policy matters (579)
    • Like Churchill later, he crossed over to the Tory camp after being a radical (567)
    • Only real motivation was personal: his support of his fellow Jews and his hatred for Russia and the Balkan Christians (579)
  • Founder of the modern Conservative Party (580)
    • “In a short time, he managed to drag the majority of his supporters into dishonourably changing all of their positions…”
      • “These politicians ‘were not Englishmen or Conservatives, but strictly Disraelites.’” (580)
    • New conservatism was defined by military adventurism (interfering in the private affairs of other countries) and free trade, the polar opposites of its traditional stances, as represented by Peel.
  • Used his political power to promote Jewish rather than British interests worldwide

Lord John Russell

  • Member of the House of Lords
  • Served two terms as prime minister
  • Was “the driving force behind the emancipation of the Jews.” (426)
    • See ‘The “Compromise” Betrayal that Enfranchised Jews’ under ‘Conservative Betrayal’ under Themes.
  • Pushed the Religious Disabilities Act of 1846 through the House of Lords
    • Allowed Jews to own “immovable property.” (478)
      • The last privilege denied to Jews, besides emancipation itself (478)
  • April 8th, 1851: presented a motion to remove the oath requirement
    • “A motion from Lord John Russell to appeal the resolution of August 5th, 1850, according to which His Majesty’s subjects of Jewish faith had to be allowed to take the Oath of Abjuration without the fatal last words.” (502)
  • Continuously presented new bills, variations of the Jew Bill, for the Jews (426, 485, 502, 516, 523, 533, 544)
    • Was the spokesman for other Jew bills presented by others (526)
    • Tried to sneak a Jew bill through (489)
    • Tried to sneak another Jew bill through (523)
    • Why was he so obsessed with Jewish emancipation?
      • “The Morning Post was angered that the Jewish Question was brought up relentlessly in Parliament. The only reason for it was that Rothschild wanted to enter Parliament, whatever the cost, and the government was supporting him in his ambitions.” (521)
      • Paid by Jews
        • “[The Standard] accused Lord Russell of having shady dealings with Rothschild, who contributed to the Russell’s election costs and had the Jewish electors give Russell their votes in exchange for Russell, as his part of the ‘vile bargain’, presenting one bill after another which furthered the Jewish agenda. These accusations must have had some basis in truth, as no legal action was taken against the Standard for libel or any similar charge.” (522)
    • The “compromise” bill

Lord Derby

  • Had been a key opponent of Jew bills in the House of Lords before changing sides
    • His betrayal led to the first major weakening in the anti-Jew front.
    • Aldag on why Lord Derby changed sides
      • Due to pressure from Disraeli, Jewish media, etc
        • “Perhaps his reasoning can be explained from the perspective of a desire to keep his position at all costs, or because pressure had been exerted on him by the Jews or the Jews’ supporters. Disraeli was part of his cabinet, as during that period he had risen to become the leader of the Conservatives, so he would have been able to undermine the ancient bastion against Judaism from the inside. It was not for nothing that some newspapers wrote that the Conservative Party had had to surrender itself to a Jew, in order to get new ideas. In these bitter words there is a lot of truth, because it is only this way that it has come to be possible that within the English Conservative Party today one finds theories that can only be Jewish in origin.” (554)
      • Derby may have feared the Jewish press instigating a French Revolution-style attack on their class. (446)
        • “What today is not wished to be seen in most spheres of England, threatened to happen: an unprecedented constitutional crisis. In the most irresponsible way, the Jews and their friends fanned the flames in their newspapers against the House of Lords and demanded more or less openly a violent intervention into the rights of the Lords, whose undignified fate can be partly explained by this.” (446)
    • See ‘Lord Derby’ under ‘Conservative Betrayal’ under Themes for a full accounting of the reasons leading to Lord Derby’s betrayal.
  • Orchestrated the “compromise bill” in the House of Lords that surrendered to Jewish emancipation (539)

Edward VII

  • Friend of the Jews
  • Close to the Rothschild family
    • “His greatest confidants were the three Rothschild brothers, of whom Alfred is described as his dearest friend.” (602)
  • Also close to the Sassoon family (602)
  • Closest friend was a Jew
    • “[The Jew] Sir Ernest Cassel is usually described as his closest friend, whom the king made, along with another Jewish friend Sir Edgar Speyer, a member of the Privy Council.” (602)
  • Kaiser Wilhelm II’s letter to Prince von Biilow, in which the Kaiser penned a famous and damning quote:
    • “Ballin told me that Wernher Beit had visited him lately. He (Beit) is the great speculator and Stock Exchange jobber of the City, one of the organisers of the Boer War and African mining swindles. He takes care of all the speculations of His Majesty, who must be almost a partner in his transactions. He must always be providing His Majesty with heaps of gold, of which he is always in need. One may say, ‘he runs the king’.” (602)

Lord Randolph Churchill

  • Father of Winston Churchill
  • Owed his wealth to the Rothschilds, close to the Rothschilds
    • “...borrowed £5,000 from Rothschild and used it to buy shares in gold mines in South Africa. After a certain time, due to a lack of money, he had to sell two-fifths of them; the remainder were later sold after his death for £70,000 as the share-price had since risen exponentially. Incidentally, he was one of Rothschild's closest friends and was a regular guest at his country estate in Buckinghamshire.” (620)

Winston Churchill

  • Led efforts to enable Jewish immigration
    • Led the fight against the Aliens Bill, which would limit Jewish immigration. See footnote 195. (615)
    • 1904: To assist the Jews, Winston Churchill switched sides, which was decisive for killing a new alien bill. (620-1)
      • His constant, unprincipled changing of sides was very much like Disraeli’s.
    • 1906: When the immigration restriction bill was passed, Churchill made sure that it didn’t affect the Jews, set them up as controllers of immigration board. (629)
  • Played a key role in making sure that the offenders of the Marconi Scandal were not punished (647)
  • A Zionist, an early supporter of the Balfour Declaration cause (664)
    • Along with Lloyd George
    • Chaired the 1921 Cairo Conference, transferred control of Palestine over to Britain, for the Jews (672)
  • Churchill: “Almost continuously in my political life, I have been in friendly, pleasant relations with the Jewish community.” (699)

Dr. Chaim Weizmann

  • A Russian emigré (664)
  • Lectured in Chemistry at Manchester University (664)
  • Led world-wide Zionism and secured the Balfour declaration (664)
  • The most prominent Marxist-socialist Zionist internationally during Aldag’s time, according to Jewish researcher Landman (673)

Anthony Eden

  • Quick to execute Jewish demands
    • “... the well-known American Jews Rabbi Stephen S. Wise and Louis Brandeis protested to Roosevelt about the fact that during the meeting of the Palestine Committee there were attempts to stop Jewish immigration. Roosevelt agreed with them and accordingly telegraphed Anthony Eden, then Britain’s Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, who immediately acceded to the request.” (674)
  • “The Semitic connections of the former War Secretary, now Foreign Secretary, Anthony Eden — a student of Baldwin — are so obvious to everyone that we need hardly repeat what is known.” (700) [Do you know of a source that neatly details these connections that Aldag considers self-evident?]
