Correct, Stalin was opposed to the continued colonization of Palestine by the British and then the Zionists. He was overruled by portions of the party that had Zionist connections. The USSR did participate and help create Israel (cringe) but Stalin opposed it.
I heard Stalin preferred to have the Jewish state be in the USSR, and didn’t actually support “Israel.” I don’t remember the source.
