Zionism is often defined as the belief that the state of Israel should exist. Zionists tend to have strong anti-Palestinian sentiments and support atrocities against them.
Zionism is a political movement whichs objects have changed over the course of its 150 years existence. Most early Zionists, even the vile ones who embraced ethnic cleansing as crucial to obtain “their” state had their goals fulfilled in 1948. Ever since then the movement kept radicalizing to keep justifying more ethnic cleansing, land stealing, genocide and assorted crimes that come with being an expansionist imperial ideology.

Yeah… no. Ben Gurion is on record saying “we should accept partition as an intermediary step towards Jewish conquest of all of Palestine” multiple times. Zionism has always been like this; Zionists have simply deluded themselves and everyone else into thinking early Zionism wasn’t exactly the same stuff as modern Zionism, just with better PR and more democracy for the master race. The reason Zionists didn’t conquer and ethnically cleanse all of Palestine is Arab intervention to stop exactly that from happening.
