There was a time when Zionists weren’t all fascist zealots and some actually just wanted to fuck off out of Europe because of antisemitism, Einstein was in favor of a secular state in the middle east for Jews to make their home among the other indigenous people there. Later on around the time of the actual founding of Israel he changed his position because it was clear that that wasn’t the intent of the majority of Zionists. He actually turned down an offer to be its first head of state IIRC.
