Cold War: Israel vs. Judah

Shortly after it's founding, Israel is subjected to a Communist takeover in the north. While Communist Israel aligned with the Soviets, Judah (aka South Israel) seceded and aligned with the West.
 
The Israelis were already Democratic Socialists, so I don't see where the room for Communism will be in the political sphere.

You could maybe have two Jewish polities however if Stalin decides to stick all the Soviet Jews in one place. A "Judah/Judea" in Kaliningrad/Crimea/Birobidzhan and Israel in Israel.
 
I think Israel would need to be a lot bigger or something, it's pretty small as a state already, splitting in two and being surrounded by hostile states is probably a death sentence.
 
What if a second Jewish state like Ibn saud recommended was carved out of Germany, and the two states got into a ruckus?
 
It also puts the two superpowers in the very awkward position of backing their own Jewish States, both hated by the Arabs.

If the government succeeds in killing Begin at the Altalena, and someone more confrontational takes command over the rightwing zionists, then it would be they who establish their own state in a part of the territory, not the left. But what territory could they take? Etzel and Lehi seem to have had their own military units with their own military commanders operating alongside Palmach and Haganah and sometimes refusing to participate in the same actions, so at least there is some basis on the ground for the revisionists carving out a statelet of their own.
