I knew personally that RFK Jr was a raging Zionist when he did an appearance on The Jimmy Dore Show about 18 months back when he was still running as a Democrat in the primary IIRC.
They talked about the COVID jab and all that good stuff, but then the conversation turned to Israel and Oct 7th.
Dore himself is pretty pro-Palestine and chums around with leftist pro-Palestine types like Aaron Mate and Max Blumenthal.
The interview shifted to Israel and RFK started into all the "Israel in the world's most moral army" agitprop. He talked about how the IDF was reducing civilian casualties by warning civilians to evacuate with some sort of "door knocker" roof bombs before actually levelling everything to the ground.
He also made claims that the Israeli courts were less corrupt and more just than the American ones because their judiciary and laws respect the minority rights of their Arab subpopulation better than the US equivalents do.
Dore caught a lot of heat from the more left-leaning side of his audience for not pushing back more. During the interview, Dore admitted that he wasn't well-versed enough to push back on some of RFK's most bombastic claims, so he asked if RFK would return for a debate with Max Blumenthal of The Gray Zone. Which RFK agreed to, but never returned.
I remember being really shocked at the time that RFK Jr was such a rabid Zionist when most of his other ideologies seem more in tune with both the old classical liberals and the dissident right.
But it certainly explains why it was so easy for him to drop his Independent Presidential campaign run to join the rest of the usual MAGA & Republican Zio shills.
Edit: I think this is the clip that opened my eyes. It's RFK in Jimmy's studio Aug 2023.
