Churchill and the '180'

The speaker says Winston Churchill opposed a Jewish homeland until Jewish bankers paid his debts. A financier did pay Churchill's stock losses in 1938, but Churchill had supported a Jewish homeland since around 1908, 30 years earlier. The payment can't explain a view he already held.

The opponent may suggest Churchill changed position on Zionism because Jewish financiers bailed him out.

Churchill expressed support for Zionism decades before financier Henry Strakosch covered losses in 1938.

The chronology weakens the proposed cause. A financial transaction is not proof of political control without evidence of a quid pro quo.
