Another factor here is, people on the far right like ethno-states. They want their own ethnostate and they would also like Jews to go away, so it's a win-win for them. They get to point to a modern ethnostate as a model (see Zelensky talking about Israel being the model for Ukraine's future) and whitewash their own antisemitism through their support for zionism.
