Of course in the case of the first two, their stance toward Israel is largely a holdover of the Cold War when the USSR was more closely aligned with Syria and Egypt pre-Sadat, and the US was more aligned with Israel post-'67 or at least post-'73, and they were just following the Soviets' lead. So, fair enough categorization.
Hate to break it to you but the US are a proud sponsor of Israel and the Palestinian genocide.
Even if you don't believe the Bible, the Balfour Declaration gives Israel the right to it. And to defend themselves when threatened.
Every time a 2 state solution has been presented, it was not the Israelis who rejected the deal. And when they have given up land, it resulted in their enemies using that territory to launch rockets further into Israel, proving that giving up more land will never solve the problem.
And the propaganda coming from the opposition is ridiculous. There is no apartheid and the non-Israelis who live in "Palestine" are not treated as second-class citizens.
With all of the anti-Semitism in the world, why should Muslims be the ones demanding more land? Israel is the size of New Jersey and they cannot even be left in peace to live there without people trying to force them out. It's not just sad, it's evil.
God and the Bible aren't good arguments for recognition of the State of Israel, even in religious circles. A strong argument is that a stateless people that was nearly exterminated, would always experience hate and oppression as minorities in anyone else's country. They had earned a homeland through millennia of anti-Semitism and expulsion, and the Holocaust. That granting them a state in their ancestral homeland necessarily antagonized the Arabs living in the region is unfortunate, but there was never going to be a solution that would make everyone happy.
In Leninism, the self-determination of nations and anti-imperialism are of utmost importance, and in fact each of those are entire books written by Lenin. Since Israel was established by the British Empire and is an apartheid settler-colony (not trying to be inflammatory, that's straight from the United Nations https://undocs.org/A/HRC/4/17 and the African National Congress https://www.haaretz.com/1.5001173), the state of Israel is considered oppressive by Leninists and they think it should be replaced by a state that does not officially prioritize any religion or nationality. Also, Communist countries suffer under near-universal blockades, like Gaza and the West Bank do, so there's probably a solidarity factor there too.
sumguy's explanation is much more accurate. Israel had strong socialist leanings early on before decades later eventually pivoting toward the US. But both the US and the USSR frequently abandoned or ignored their own stated principles during the Cold War when it came to trying to win countries to their own sphere of influence. Egypt, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Cuba, Iran, etc... all pivoted from one to the other, in various directions, and rarely did much change when they did. Swapping out one dictator for another.
"Anti-imperialism is of utmost importance to Leninism"... did you honestly type that with a straight face? Yeah. The USSR was SO concerned with self-determination...tell that to the Estonians, the Czechs, the Afghans, the Georgians, Eastern Poles, Ukrainians, etc etc etc
Good evening from Israel.

Oman is rumored to be next. Saudi Arabia may not even be many years away! But through the entire Arab world, the notion that Israel is THE big geopolitical story has markedly faded. Israel is increasingly just another country.
"Until 2020, no other member state of the United Nations had ever officially recognized Moroccan sovereignty over parts of Western Sahara. In 2020, the United States recognized Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara in exchange for Moroccan normalization of relations with Israel."
