A sizable portion of the Nazi party was very sympathetic to the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine.

Likewise, the Soviet Union was the first nation to recognize Israel and the Russian Jewish community was very important in the creation of Israel. More than 25% of the Jewish colonists came from Russia and other Soviet countries. The same Russia where pogroms were a routine in the XIX century.

Zionism was a pretty convenient idea for a lot of ultra-nationalists that didn't want Jewish people in their countries.

It's almost like the Jews who fled Judea / Beta Israel following the Roman crackdown after Bar Kochba weren't welcome in Russia. Someone should find a way to let them return there and live in peace.
