It is true that communism and socialism were used extensively by Israelis because it gave them -much more than Zionism-the international cover under which they could work and promote the interests of their so called Jewish state, and reach remote places- in Africa and Asia – that they could not otherwise reach.
These Israeli or pro Israel communists and socialists that work for the promotion of the Israeli state and are unionists or activists are as dangerous as their liberal pars if not more .They have infiltrated Liberation movements in Africa -to a great extent- seeking to control them, drawing the parallel between what they call Jewish struggle for existence and the Black African struggle for liberation , and claiming to be on the side of the oppressed while catering and belonging to the most oppressive state that ever existed . They pretended to fight for human rights while abusing Palestinians , not to forget that the previous USSR was among the first to recognize the usurping state of Israel and to send hundreds of thousands of Jews to populate it and contribute greatly to its growth and development. Israel would not have been what it is without those .
The Soviets had no problem in recognizing and catering to a so called religious colonialist state that was against everything they claimed to be and also, other leftist parties- communist and socialist- will not refrain from offering to Israelis-who lived on usurped land – to engage in class and anti colonial struggle of which they were an intrinsic part . But this does not mean that Marxism is the cradle of Zionism as has been suggested .
The cradle of Zionism lies somewhere else and the particular thing about Zionism as that it could use both spirituality and materialism, religion and secularism in a strange combination that is rarely seen and which shows that Zionism is neither religious nor secular nor material but belongs to something else to a different realm made of pure violation and usurp.
