tirtza:
Your definition of Zionism is like defining Jews for J as Jewish. Zionism, in any form, is the heretical (meaning, therefore, anti-Jewish) theology that attempts to “normalize” the Jewish people by turning the Jewish nation is a nationalist nation, Ch”V, like Italy for the Italians, France for the French, et al.
Rav Saadiah Gaon wrote that Hashem gave us the Torah in a midbar, a desert, and NOT in E”Y, specifically so that we should understand that our nationhood is solely (again, that’s only) through the Torah. Not “the people and the land” or any other nationalist “inventions” of that nature. Although there are many mitzvos that depend on being in the land, etc. our nationhood is in the Torah, not the land.
