I can give Lou a hard time too, but this twenty-four word literary
masterpiece is quite humorous:

"I had no idea that cannibalism gave birth to anti-Semitism but let's leave
that aside for purposes of remaining tethered to the planet Earth."

On Stalin's support for Nakba-era Zionism, don't forget he also sent the
arms. See, for example, Ilan Pappé's *The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine*
(p. 129):

"Weapons were scarce since the Arab armies' main suppliers were Britain and
France, who had declared an arms embargo on Palestine. This crippled the
Arab armies but hardly affected the Jewish forces, who found a willing
furnisher in the Soviet Union and in its new Eastern bloc."
