Churchill had funny views concerning Jews, being at once both philosemitic and antisemitic (also Churchill was famously close to a number of leading Jewish financiers), but then again, philosemitism and antisemitism are often two sides of the same coin, anyway. For example see Churchill's 1920 newspaper article, "Zionism versus Bolshevism." <http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Zionism_versus_Bolshevism>
There he asserts his opinion that the October Revolution was primarily the work of Jewish conspirators and that the Soviet Union was run mainly by Jews,"bad" Jews or what he called "international Jews." Opposed to them were the two varieties of what he called "national Jews." The first variety consisted of those Jews who were loyal citizens of whatever countries they lived in. The sort of people who, in those days, might say that they were Britons or Frenchmen of the Mosaic faith. The second variety were the Zionists, who wanted to create a Jewish state. Churchill approved of both varieties of "national Jews" and he recommended supporting Zionism in order to provide Jews an alternative to Bolshevism.

* On Bolshevism:
For Churchill, the Soviet Union was a 'tyrannic government of these Jew Commisars', a 'worldwide communistic state under Jewish domination', 'the international Soviet of the Russian and Polish Jew', or just 'these Semitic conspirators'. (2)
