      The USSR thought Israel would be socialist and aligned against the west. Which didn't look too outrageous of an idea back then. Also the Holocaust had just happened and the USSR interpreted Israel as Britain leaving the middle east

      The standard leftist opinion back then was support for the creation of Israel. Time makes fools of us all
