| | It is also possible that Castro wanted to avoid anti-Semitism precisely in order to differentiate his regime from that of the Soviet Union, an explanation that would also cover his decision to maintain diplomatic relations with Israel after the 1967 Six-Day War, when the entire Communist bloc broke relations with the exception of Cuba. | | | Castro had a number of Jewish friends and supporters, and his relations with one or more of them may have predisposed him not to attack the Jewish community. | | | Although Castro's foreign policy towards the State of Israel has had its ups and downs, he has pursued a consistently benign policy towards the local Cuban Jewish community. |
