The appeal for drones, sent out to Gordon’s mailing list, has since grown into a “thermal drone matching campaign” run by the One Israel Fund, another charity based in the Five Towns that supports West Bank settlements. The group hosts tours of the West Bank and holds annual wine-tasting barbecues in the Five Towns to fund settlement security projects. Although it usually raises $3 million per year, the One Israel Fund took in $2.5 million in the month after Oct. 7, according to the Long Island Herald

      Well the Soviets had a complicated relationship with Zionism (pushed for 47 partition for one thing when even the Brits knew it was a bad idea). It took a while for them to figure that one out.

        Tbh, strongly feel stalin cavalier attitude towards ethnic movements played a strong role in that, but they quickly realized what it was (or, more cynically, that entity became pet imperialist project, most definitively with suez crisis)

          Yeh I’m not an expert in any regard but I wouldn’t be surprised. I think there was also some realpolitik going on, hoping they could get a socialist Israel under their wings to fuck with the Brits/other imperialist interests in the region
