    What if Colbert ended up being our Churchill?

    In 1937, while speaking to the Palestine Royal Commission in favour of allowing Jews to settle in Palestine, Churchill stated that:

    I do not admit … for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place.

    Stephen Colbert defending a genocide? I’d like to think that’s too far even for Colbert’s conservative character but I unfortunately think that might be too optimistic in regards to Israel-Palestine…
