Bernie is a Zionist.

He’s a jew who also worked in Israel for a few years when he was younger. He’s also one of the most critical voices of Israel in America. He’s not a Zionist. Being accepting of Israel as a concept (while it’s not ideal how it exists at all) doesn’t make you a Zionist. A Zionist must want to take over the territory and make it a place for Jews exclusively.

He is a Zionist and engages in partisan discourse within zionism. He is only critical of who is empowering the Zionist state. He still supports the project, and you agree he does. Being accepting of it absolutely makes him a Zionist. Isreal does not have the right to exist.

No country has a “right” to exist. They just do. Yes, Israel was created under bad pretenses, but that’s true for basically every nation. It doesn’t prevent them from being better than they started, though Israel is only doing worse for the most part.
