Communist aligned Israel

Interestingly, for the first three years of its existence, Israel was in the Non-Aligned Movement (same organisation that India is a prominent member of). 

The question of which side of the Cold War Israel should choose created fissures in the kibbutz movement -  imagine if a Kibbutz based Defence force resulted with some equipping themselves with Soviet equipment (albeit in small numbers).

Old Wombat:
You would, also, need the Soviet-supported Islamic nations around it to stop attacking it. :icon_punal:

You have to wonder, if the Soviets supported Israel, would they then, in turn, support the Muslim nations around her or would they stay "hands off"?  And if they didn't support them, who would they turn to?  I could see a Soviet-supported Israel surrounded by French- and British-supported Muslim countries.  I can't see the US getting involved there unless drawn in by events since they wouldn't, at the time, have a "dog in that hunt".

My first thought on the mention that Israel would quickly move from thuggish Stalinism to a "thinking" socialism was: Tito. And then others mentioned the Non-Aligned Movement as well, of which Tito/Yugoslavia were hugely important figures.

So, I could see such an Israel operating, perhaps even jointly developing, aircraft like the Strsljen, Jastreb, Galeb, Super Galeb, Orao etc...

Very good points. Israel having a hand in the development of the Orao really has some serious possibilities.
