I honestly think this post should be removed for being so incorrect

Literally the source is a right wing writer for the Spectator. Such a joke, if you read Wikipedia check the footnotes and sourcing

What source, it's a picture. Can you please post it, and the wiki article?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Stalin_and_antisemitism

[27] Paul Johnson, A History of the Jews (1987) p. 527

Paul Johnson is a fervent anti communist

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Johnson_(writer)

This takes 2 seconds for anyone ever reading wiki. Look at the source

Gonna have to push back here for a few reasons: 1. Just because a historian is conservative or even anticommunist, does not mean they are liars and their writings, if skewed toward their own ideological preferences and those of their audience, isn't based in fact. 2. I found A History if the Jews on Libgen, and the source that he cites is Howard Sachar, ‘The Arab-Israel Issue in the Light of the Cold War’, (Washington DC), 1966, 2.

I don't know about Howard Sachar's attitude toward communism, and I couldn't find a copy of the book that was cited, but I did find Dreamland: Europeans and Jews in the Aftermath of the Great War which contains about 150 pages about Rosa Luxemburg that casts her in a very good light from what I can tell. So not a guy with an axe to grind against communism.

Unfortunately I can't find an independent resource supporting the original claim (although I swear I've seen one somewhere) but your argument is, at best, disingenuous and based on vibes

No evidence this is true, Stalin did not have a clear policy until postwar WW2, and survivors of the Jewish Eastern European community started proposing Crimea be the Jewish State.

At the Yalta conference in 1945 Stalin did not have a clear plan, but showed Roosevelt disappointment that his Siberian Jewish state was not succeeding. He also shared that he felt the ethnic tensions would cause problems postwar. EDIT: He specifically cited the creation of the KKK in post civil war america

He had a clear understanding of the difficulties of building a new Jewish homeland, and was scared he’d be forced to give up prime land in his own nation that just lost 25 million people.
