Stalin didn’t turn on the chosenites until the early 1950s, partly because Israel was more western aligned and in his sclerotic mind, meant all Jews couldn’t be trusted (baste!). That led to the Doctor plot:

Of course, Israel started off very socialist and even now can be described as a democratic socialist nation. I give the levantines shit but always like how they take care of their people (I don’t consider Arabs and Africans who live there to be their people). A nationalistic socialist country tends to thrive pretty well with a homogeneous population.
