I'm not at all certain this article should be kept on Wikipedia, but, if there's consensus that the topic is encyclopedic, the article must be significantly improved from the current one-sided polemical status. Readers should be aware that there are differing views among experts when it comes to links between Marxism and anti-Semitism, and on the reality and extent of anti-Semitism within specific movements.

From late 1944, Joseph Stalin adopted a pro-Zionist foreign policy, apparently believing that the new country would be socialist and would speed the decline of British influence in the Middle East. [1] Accordingly, in November 1947, the Soviet Union, together with the other Soviet bloc countries voted in favor of the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, [2] which paved the way for the creation of the State of Israel. On May 17, 1948, three days after Israel declared its independence, the Soviet Union officially granted de jure recognition of Israel, [3] becoming only the second country to recognise the Jewish state (preceded only by the United States' de facto recognition) and the first country to grant Israel de jure recognition. 45.116.233.9 ( talk) 12:28, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

I cited a policy reason - WP:SYNTH. Please use sources whose topic is antisemitism in the USSR (which also clearly cover how supposed "Jewish" influence on Communism was vastly exagerrated). Icewhiz ( talk) 09:57, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
I don't know why this isn't mentioned in the article, but I'll add a section with text from the Oblast's article. Hextor26 ( talk) 18:56, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
I'd rather not have us reverting edits back and forth until the end of time, so could we discuss things here?
I acknowledge that the content I removed is sourced, but it referenced a secondary source which is directly contradicted by the actual text of the article referenced -- a primary source. Why do you think we should keep the contentious section? Minnieminaaa ( talk) 23:17, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi @ My_very_best_wishes. You added this source The Jews in the Soviet Union since 1917 [3]. Would you mind providing a quote from the book that you're using? I'm just wondering if, after many many re-edits, that the original message of the source got lost. Thanks. Stix1776 ( talk) 10:54, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
3.1 First Conference of the Evsektsiya, Moscow, October 1918. YIVO.
The Sections were intended to be part of the Communist Party, but generally party members did not recognize their special legitimacy or that of Evkom. They were simply a cog in the party apparatus. Some Sections were even attacked for their "nationalistic deviations" 35 at a time when the party was liquidating the autonomous nationality Sections in the areas liberated from German rule (Belorussia, Lithuania, and Latvia) and transforming them into territorial Communist parties. Since Soviet Jews lacked a territorial base and since there was no territory with a Jewish majority, no Jewish territorial party was formed. To many ardent party members, the existence of Jewish Sections seemed anomalous a needless problem and a nuisance.
While the Jewish Sections were struggling to define themselves, recruit new personnel, and bring the Communist message to "the Jewish street," the Bund and socialist Zionists were undergoing severe internal crises and external pressures which eventually destroyed their unity and independence.36 Their breakdown gave the Evsektsiya control over Jewish communities and cleared the way for the destruction of traditional Jewish life, the Zionist movement, and Hebrew culture.
