He was somewhat antisemitic, but when he heard about Kristallnacht he said that he was ashamed to be a German.

He ranted and raved about Jews as he did about a lot of things - by the time he got his second and usually wiser thoughts, the damage had been done.



His deprivation of oxygen during birth, which apparently leads to extremely impulsive behaviour, also happened to Sid Vicious's girlfriend Nancy Spungeon.

Not very. At least there's no significant record of it and he took no actions along those lines against Jewish people. His few comments recorded on the subject show he was 'prejudiced' against Jews as the large majority of his times, and especially Germans. But that he considered them a 'nuisance' advocated no actions against them and if they served the German state promoted them in government/ military, and encoraged successful German-Jewish businessmen who aided the state like he did other businessmen. His main thing seemed to be building a strong German 'Reich' and Empire. He no doubt had all the common prejudices against Jews and maybe didn't like them very much but as he said that was just a 'nuisance' as long as they were loyal to and helped the 'empire'.

* British Winston Churchill was in no way a 'Jew hater', 'conspiracy theorist', or significant 'anti semite.........

Quite opposite Churchill's good friend and mentor was Britain's 1st Jewish Prime Minister (Disraeli), Churchill was one of the 4 ministers who drew up the pro Jewish/ pro Zionist 'Balfour Declaration' 1917, and in several speeches lauded the Jews as...the creators of civilization, law, morality, and religion, that Christianity and British civilization owes everything to....as hero's in history....and as a civilizing force wherever they went. The only negative speech he ever said was early on for political reasons he said that many of Lenin's communist Bolsheviks were Jews....This was to get people to hate the Bolsheviks more, not to hate Jews.

Facist quotes/ world conspiracy quotes attributed to him were proven to be from British facists in the 1930's who falsely put him name on them for popularity.

Although Kaiser Bill is said to have been anti-semitic the Nazis dismissed this almost out of hand.

Yeah like most people in Europe at the time he was. Even Winston Churchill was famous for his anti-simitic rhetoric!!





Churchill was an “anti-Semite” who described what he called the Jewish “world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization”. Churchill stated that the international Jews were involved in the genocidal French Revolution and that their conspiracy “has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the Nineteenth Century”.



Churchill explained that the Jews were also behind the Bolshevik Revolution and that they became the “undisputed masters” of the Russian empire. He wrote that “the principal inspiration and driving power [of Bolshevism] comes from the Jewish leaders” not only in Russia but also in Hungary and Germany. Most of the Bolshevik leaders were Jews; Jews controlled the Soviet institutions; Jews took a prominent or principal part in the Soviet system of terrorism that slaughtered tens of millions of Christians.



Churchill wrote the following newspaper article in 1920 about the Jewish "world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization."



Winston Churchill on the Jewish World Conspiracy



Quote:



International Jews



In violent opposition to all this sphere of Jewish effort rise the schemes of the International Jews. The adherents of this sinister confederacy are mostly men reared up among the unhappy populations of countries where Jews are persecuted on account of their race. Most, if not all, of them have forsaken the faith of their forefathers, and divorced from their minds all spiritual hopes of the next world. This movement among the Jews is not new. From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky (Russia), Bela Kun (Hungary), Rosa Luxembourg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United States), this world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing. It played, as a modern writer, Mrs. Webster, has so ably shown, a definitely recognizable part in the tragedy of the French Revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the Nineteenth Century; and now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads and have become practically the undisputed masters of that enormous empire.



Terrorist Jews



There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution, by these international and for the most part atheistical Jews, it is certainly a very great one; it probably outweighs all others. With the notable exception of Lenin, the majority of the leading figures are Jews. Moreover, the principal inspiration and driving power comes from the Jewish leaders. Thus Tchitcherin, a pure Russian, is eclipsed by his nominal subordinate Litvinoff, and the influence of Russians like Bukharin or Lunacharski cannot be compared with the power of Trotsky, or of Zinovieff, the Dictator of the Red Citadel (Petrograd) or of Krassin or Radek -- all Jews. In the Soviet institutions the predominance of Jews is even more astonishing. And the prominent, if not indeed the principal, part in the system of terrorism applied by the Extraordinary Commissions for combating Counter-Revolution has been taken by Jews, and in some notable cases by Jewesses. The same evil prominence was obtained by Jews in the brief period of terror during which Bela Kun ruled in Hungary. The same phenomenon has been presented in Germany (especially in Bavaria), so far as this madness has been allowed to prey upon the temporary prostration of the German people. Although in all these countries there are many non-Jews every whit as bad as the worst of the Jewish revolutionaries, the part played by the latter in proportion to their numbers in the population is astonishing.
