This backpedal comes right after meeting with AOC and Bernie Sanders. The two have rubbed their shitlib off on him. Previously he seemed to not be totally for or against (could have generously been seen as "hiding his power level") but now clearly against the phrase.

I still hope Zohran wins though. Him losing would be a big win for the pieces of shit in the media and in power looking to prove that even suggesting Israel might be doing something wrong is forbidden.

You say this like him condemning "Black lives matter" because "All lives matter" wouldn't be a terrible indictment, and this situation is a lot less different from that than some might wish it was.

Except it is a very different situation precisely because he doesn't condemn the phrase

He chose the word discourage very carefully in an attempt to be diplomatic to the establishment without actually condemning those of us who say it

Sorry, let me rephrase to the very different situation:

It is like him discouraging the use of "Black lives matter" because a white rights activist told him that it makes them think of the knockout game and South Africa's "white genocide" and is a denial of the fact that "All lives matter". My point is that he's ceding ground to the Zionists as though they are making a point worth respecting in policing reasonable language.
