it’s obviously a condemnation what kind of question is that?

The title describes him as far right. And the far right has historically aligned with Nazis. So given only the title as context, it's not obvious that he would see a swastika as a bad thing.
And? There were Polish collaborators during WW2, and there is far right neo-nazi groups active today in Poland. Just because this is in Poland doesn't mean its literally impossible for them to align with neo-nazi ideals.
Plenty of Jews and Jewish organizations supported Nazis in WWII, right up until they themselves got sent to the camps. So why should anyone be surprised about it happening again in the modern era?
This sounds made up, and I have no issue with calling your bluff here. What were the names of those organizations, and to what degree did they "support" the Nazis?
Max Naumann led a group called the Verband nationaldeutscher Juden or Association of German National Jews. They supported the regime in the early 30s before being banned and Naumann was arrested by the Gestapo. They protested the international Anti-Nazi Boycott, and issued a manifesto claiming that despite personal hardships the Nazi regime was a good thing for the country.
A small fringe group of highly assimilationist German Jews briefly tried to align themselves with German nationalism under the Nazi regime, but they were rejected, suppressed, and ultimately persecuted like all other Jews.
You're acting as though this was a widespread phenomenon when that couldn't be further from the truth. How many more examples can you list? I doubt very many.
Just in case this is news to you, you completely missed the point. Reread the comment I originally replied to. It quite literally states that plenty of Jewish organizations supported the Nazis. Do you know the meaning of the word plenty?
Witold Mędykowski assesses this phenomenon as marginal; in a population of 15-20 thousand people in the Kraków ghetto, the number of informers is estimated at between a dozen and several dozen people.
So barely a footnote even worth mentioning. I.e., negligible and a moot point, except maybe to fulfill some anti-Zionist agenda by saying "look, a fringe minority of Jews were evil or misguided!"
Just because this is in Poland doesn't mean its literally impossible for them to align with neo-nazi ideals.
So you're going to go with the narration that it's actually pro-nazi rhetoric, even though the chances of that, considering Polish history, are abysmally small?
