No apology is necessary - it's the peril of Google. It's the same as 
if, say, someone gave a link to the Noam Chomsky or Deborah Lipstadt 
books which are on that VHO site that davemarc cited five times in one 
of his posts.

That Churchill article is all over the place on the Web. Even if it was 
ghosted by Eddie Marsh, as per the letter apparently sent to Irving 
from Richard Heinzkill from the University of Oregon, the article was 
published with Churchill's name attached to it. And even if 
ghost-written, you'd think Churchill would have checked it before it 
went to print. It is consistent with Churchill's later political stance 
on Zionism, as you pointed out. I'd say it's legit.

As I've said, the article is pro-Zionist and anti-Bolshevist. It isn't 
a straight out anti-Semitic rant, but it does assume an anti-Semitic 
mindset on the part of its (English) readers.
