I agree with Steve regarding Israel and Hamas.

The passage Hripsime cites indicates that Chamberlain failed to consider the full context (at least) TWICE: (1) He failed to consider the full context when deciding against rearmament, and (2) he failed to consider the full context when dealing with the consequences of his first failure.

Both of these were unethical, and handing over Czechoslovakia was FAR WORSE, morally speaking, than would have been morally condemning Hitler and his intentions, EVEN IF Chamberlain lacked the military might at that moment to back up that condemnation.

IF Chamberlain did in fact evade the full context in the second instance to save his reputation, it backfired: We’re STILL talking about how terribly he acted.
