dscntnt: Racist he {churchill} is; wrong he isn't. The quote stands as does your inability to actually refute what I actually quoted.

Au contraire I did refute your quote, you're just too smug to realize it.

Your chuchill quote's point is churchill's 'tailing': "You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."

Then I wrote, refuting you well enough: "In his tailing imperialist Churchill was moreso speaking of white englishmen* & anglo saxony, his own race, for winston churchill was, according to probably most knowledgeable historians, a racist, & to some an abominable racist.
*Note the lyric in rule brittania: Britannia, rule the waves! Britons never, never, never shall be slaves" .

Jewish website: They {Bielski partisans} had to be constantly on the alert, they made connections with the Russian partisans, to whom they appeared sufficiently “Communist” and to these men they did not reveal their adherence to Jewish traditions, which would have made Tuvia’s important relationship with the partisans suspect.
Most of all, they had to guard against internal dissension. The group was far from a “utopian community of enlightened democratic and egalitarian governance,” and were forced to extreme measures in order to eliminate dissension and ensure the survival of the group as a whole.

The Bielski partisans were later accused of war crimes on the neighboring population; particularly for involvement in the massacre of 128 people in the Polish village of Naliboki. They were also charged by Polish officials of numerous cases of armed robbery and looting...
The younger men in the unit took incredible risks on food missions to assure that everyone in the unit would have food. What point could there be in resistance if they left any Jew behind?
