Why did Stalin purge all the Jews from his ranks?

Jews were competent
Because they were subverting the Russian nation and using at as their whore for world conquest. After Stalin's purging the Jews went to America.

Stalin isn't Antisemitic, its just so happen that all the rotten people happened to be Jewish
He sent them to war

I think Stalin understood the Jews. He used the to purge all his other enemies, and he left them for last, because he didn't trust them.
He was planning another purge in 1952 but they got to him first.

Stalin succeeded where Hitler failed.

I'm pretty sure that Stalin purged everybody, not just Jews.
The Bolsheviks had an extremely high amount of Jewish members when the percent of the Russian population that was Jewish is taken into account. Stalin wanted to & succeeded in rewriting history until it depicted only himself & Lenin as revolutionaries & defenders of Communism. Other than changing the past, he also purged Lenin's advisors, his "cabinet," to aid him in doing so. Nearly every person Lenin trusted & agreed with-his advisors-was murdered or disappeared in the first decade & a half after Stalin took over.

Stalin purged the Bolshevik's Old Guard, there were a lot of the Jews in it.
