Lol, the constituency for antipathy to Russia can't hold a candle in intensity to that for hatred of Israel.
It isn't fueled by years of campus indoctrination and Arab money.
Not to mention that Bibi Netanyahu has been the bête noire of the American left for decades.
Moreover, hatred of Israel is an emotional proxy. It's displaced hatred for America. But after all, antisemitism has always been displaced rage at the established order. Indeed, established regimes have always used it to distract their subjects.
I think there is also a convenient element of "white savior" syndrome in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict that can't be - consciously or subconsciously - activated in Russia/Ukraine. YMMV.

You think it's an accident that when young people were polled, two thirds said Jews were "oppressors" but 79% (!) said the same thing of whites? https://www.allsides.com/news/2023-12-17-0022/general-news-79-18-24-year-olds-say-white-people-67-say-jews-are-oppressors
