Stalin himself briefly supported Israel- lots of debate why. Soviets provided the necessary votes at the UN for statehood, and eastern bloc provided most of the Hagganah’s weaponry. It may have been the easiest way to kick the British out of their mandate.
There was also this period where Israeli leadership were socialist in a way? Someone mentioned here noted socialist Einstein almost became a zionist leader but the Israeli socialist party was chauvinist I think?
“[tankies] who support Israel”
Smells like op in here.
GenZedong has a bot that says "Israel has no history, only a criminal record" but go off op
Good bot
