Interesting though that the "far right" parties in Denmark and Norway, Danish People's party and the Progress party both are staunch supporters of Israel...

The Swedish "Moderata" party isn't half bad either.
When faced with Muslim hordes, anti-Semitism is counter-productive. Even the French Fonte Nationale is changing.

Of course there were alway the odd historical quirks such as in Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Many Revisionist Zionist groups (Stern Gang/LeHI and the Irgun/Etzel) loved the IRA. Yitzak Shamir's code name was "Michael Collins".
However, Cold War politics changed this in the 1950's. The USSR turned on Israel when it failed to become communist. At the same time communists were ifiltrating the formerly Catholic and nationalist IRA. By the 1970's Conservative Zionsts reached out ot the Unionists. Many of Loyalists and Scotch Irish Parties fully support Israel.
