Yeah but he was a HUGE VOICE for saying "Criticizing Israel is not antisemitism" a few years back, which did A LOT towards others being able to be heard when calling it a Genocide.
Here he is in 1988:

It seems kind of tame by today's standards. I think that has more to do with the fact that he's super-Jewish, he was completely comfortable with talking about socialism and Cuba and things in a way that was so far off the left side of the map at the time that it was out of the building. But by the standards of that time it was absolutely insane. This was years before the Rodney King jury said "not guilty," this was back when we were doing our own Gaza-lite operations in Central America, it was a time when America could do no wrong and anyone who didn't like us was a terrorist. He actually talks about that in one other interview which I think I posted in another comment, how he met with the Sandinistas and how the media in the US made it totally impossible for them to get any message that was at all friendly to them to anybody in the US.
More recently, here's a video of him yelling (for the however-manyth time) recently on the Senate floor about what a fucking horror we are enabling in Gaza, showing pictures. "This is an effort to destroy a people."
