The problem with quotes like these is that they are nothing more then unintended hypocrisy.
I'm sure they believe what they said, but if you were to remind them that Yahweh "gave" Palestine to the Hebrews, and both assisted and looked the other way as they exterminated the other tribes in the area, and then fought with and killed each other, Messers Adams and Churchill would act as though nothing was wrong.
They speak what they were taught. I don't blame them for it, but I also don't take it as truth, any more then Theodore Roosevelt's beliefs in Anglo-Saxon dominance.
