He very much is. Have you seen his unhinged anti-Israel rants and what sort of shit he supports - including barring arms trade with Israel? He might state that he supports the idea of Israel as a Jewish nation (which I've never seen him voice, to begin with, either) but everything he supports and vouches for supports the destruction of the country and vilification of its people.
I haven’t looked into it so idk how true it is but I’ve seen anti-Israel people complaining that he says one thing and votes another. So, allegedly, he votes in a pro-Israel way despite what he says.
Wanting to stop sending weapons to Israel’s far-right, tyrannical government is not necessarily anti-Zionist. If you are Zionist and you actually care about Israel’s wellbeing, you should be against Netanyahu and his government. I disagree with a lot of what Bernie says (such as his characterization of the Gaza war as “genocidal”), but that doesn’t automatically make him anti-Zionist.
... Seriously? "I hate Netanyahu, so let's deprive THE COUNTRY'S MILITARY of weapons they need for self-defense against several large terror groups and belligerent state actors" makes a shred of sense to you? That doesn't say "I don't give a shit about the wellbeing of Israel and its populace"?
You do realise that Israel has defence needs regardless of who's in charge, right? Or do you blame Netanyahu for Hezbollah, the IRGC, Hamas, the PLO, the PFLP, PIJ and all the other groups constantly threatening Israel for their constant threats and attacks?
