Again, Stalin used Jews when it was to his advantage.
But his anti-semitism was deeply rooted in his Georgian upbringing as well.

I haven’t looked into his soul that deeply. At least he hasn’t shown his antisemitism until late 1940s.
BTW, he made amendment to a Soviet Criminal Code in the 1930s, making antisemitism a capital crime. You could have been sent to gulag for years for a slight antisemitic slur at the time. His politburo was predominately Jewish, too.
