The Soviet Union executed an apparent about-face in its traditional
anti-Zionist position when the Palestine issue came before the
United Nations in 1947. In addition to political support at the UN
from May 1947 to May 1949, important military assistance was
rendered to the Jewish Palestinian Yishuv throughout 1948 by the
Eastern bloc. Toward the end of that year, however, indications of
change became apparent, and the Soviet Union began criticizing
Israel. This book studies the USSR's attitude toward the
establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine in the immediate
post-World War II period and toward Israel in the first years of
its existence, and it investigates the complex of considerations
that caused the initial apparent reversal of traditional Soviet
anti-Zionism. The author contends that this support for Israel
contributed considerably to the evoking of Soviet Jewry's
enthusiastic reaction to the establishment of the State. But this
very reaction resulted in turn in Moscow changing its tactics
again, since it could not allow its Jewish citizens to identify
with a state outside the Soviet Union and the Communist orbit.
During the few years after the Israeli War for Independence, in
which the Arab-Israeli conflict was relatively low key, the USSR
adopted a position of seeming neutrality between two sides while
quietly wooing the Arab nations. Ro'i examines how toward the end
of the Stalin period the Jewish problem again intervened with the
infamous' 'Doctor's Plot," and how early in 1953 the Soviet Union
severed diplomatic relations with Israel. One year later the USSR
cast its first two pro-Arab vetoes in the UN Security Council, and
from this point on Soviet-Israeli relations openly became a
function of the increasingly cordial Soviet friendship with the
Arab world.
