Discussion on WWII Responsibility and Morality

Who was most of all responsible for the 1939 to

'45 war?

I'll tell you exactly. Hitler began it by driving east,

and he would undoubtedly have destroyed communist Russia in so doing.

We intervened and declared war to prevent him doing it, and the

result is that Britain today is tossed to and fro between

America and Russia. We've lost the empire, we've lost our

position, and we had twenty-five million Europeans

killed.

And I'm prouder than anything in my life of having done my utmost to

stop that suicidal war which has destroyed Great Britain.

So you said those incredible words in 1939-

Tell me what they were

... uh, where you said that this was simply a Jewish

financier's quarrel. You don't think at

that time we had a moral

choice to take of whether we were gonna try and prevent all

that Hitler was doing?

A clear and fair question which I'll certainly answer.

No, we had not, and I'll tell you why. When Mr.

Gladstone wanted to have a war with Turkey in order to stop the

Armenians being badly treated, the leader of the opposition, Mr.

Disraeli, a Jew, opposed him with success, and that's

traditional British policy. If we run round the world fighting

wars for anyone who's having a bad time anywhere, you'll never have peace

in the rest of your time.

Right.

And you'll have world death because now you'll fight with nuclear weapons.
