Not surprising... Churchill was also the one who fantasized about the British Empire lasting 1000 years even as the Nazis were fantasizing about the German empire lasting 1000 years.

If you read the article you realize that this is mostly slander against Churchill, a popular hobby for many. The point was to advise Jews to help them against persecution.

He has a point, everyone is partially responsible for their troubles, not just the Jews.

Did you ever think he might have been referring to Palestine.

That depends on how you want to think of being 'responsible' for your troubles. A person who is killed by a stranger for getting into an argument with them is 'partially responsible' for their troubles in a sense, but not really in any significant sense. They do not really share any of the blame for their murder. The point in the headline is either offensive, or trivial but revealing. It is revealing how some would focus on the most victim-blaming and misanthropic interpretation of the facts.
