Yes, but it's only critical of Israel's actions. It says that Israel is going "too far". It doesn't acknowledge from what I can see that Israel is a colonial project whose existence is a historic injustice, that Israel depends on ethnic cleansing and genocide to maintain itself as a Jewish ethnostate. He's still a Zionist, he still seems to support Israel's existence, he just opposes the worst excesses of Zionism. Now I could be wrong about his positions, maybe he does acknowledge that Israel itself is the problem, but it certainly doesn't look like it. Hell, he called the current situation "one group of traumatized victims traumatizing another!", which is so fucking gross in the context of one group committing genocide against another that it's really hard not to want to spit in his fucking face. "Israel is there now! They have nowhere else to go!" is also a fucking WILD thing to say about a country where 75% of the people have dual citizenship. "Hamas would be just as bad if they could!" I mean, come on. This dude is fucking desperate to excuse everything Israel does.

Zionism means "supports the existence of Israel", not just "supports everything Israel does". Israel itself is an explicitly genocidal project.
