Millions Mourn ChurchiU's Death
Israel's Prime Minister Levi Eshkol eulogized Sir 'Winston Churchill before the Knesset Monday, .Ian. 25, as citizens of all countries of the world Joined Londonei^ in mourning the death of Britain's elder statesman who died Sunday in London.
As British Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill publicly declared himself a "lifelong Zionist." In 1943, dAorlng the critical Cairo and Teheran conferences of the Allied leaders, he held a press conference at the British
Embassy in Cairo at which a large n'tunber of Arab Journa¬ lists were among the 150 cor¬ respondents present. To them he said "I personally havev al¬ ways been a Zionist."
He al.so .said that the Jews in Pale.'itine "have made the de¬ sert bloom" and that it would be "madness" for the Arabs to cut themselves off from the benefits of this Jewish White Paper, which recommended Ru.spensibn of Jewish immigra¬ tion into Palestine until a cen¬ sus was taken t^he following year and suiggested curtailment of laml puchases by .lews in Palestine, Chuchill ioined in worldwide protertt,9 against the document.
He' called upon the British Government to return to the basic principles of the Balfour Ueclaration which pledged the e.stablishment of a Jewish Na¬ tional Home in Palestine.
His interest in the Jews and in the Zionist movement t)egan in the years of World War I when, as a meml)er of the Brit¬ ish Cabinet, he met with Dr. Chaim Weizmann, the leader of the World Zionist movement and one of the world's out- standing chemists.
Backed by David Lloyd George, who was then Britain'.^ Minister of Munitions, Chur¬ chill entrusted to Dr. Weizmann the development of acetone on
a   large  scale  nee<ied   for  the Allied war effort.
Dr. Weizmann's success in developing this important ma¬ terial led to his entry into the highest British governmental crcles and ultimately to the pronouncement of the historic Balfour Declaration.
As Colonial Secretary, Chur¬ chill named Sir Herbert Samuel as the first High Commissioner for the Palestine Mandate. Al¬ ter World War I, in 1921 Churchill delivered an address on Mount Sciopus, first site of the Hebrew University campus in .lerusaJem, declaring: "My heart has throbbed with Zion¬ ism for many years."
During the darkest days of the Nazi ora, even l)efore Hitler unleashed hns war on the dem¬ ocratic world, Churchill missed no occasion to strongly con¬ demn Nazi brutalities against Jews and the Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda. Dui-irig World War II, he stood up against the opposition of members of the British Government to give the .lews a role in the aotuai fighting against llitler and, as Prime Minister and Allied war leader, decided in 19'14, to es¬ tablish a Jewish Brigade as part of the British military forces.
The Brigade was establishietl and  contributed   gloriously   to
