Answer 1

There is no difference. Zionism, which is the Jewish desire for a homeland in Israel, is a core aspect of Judaism.

Answer 2

They are fundamentally different concepts.

Zionism is the belief that the Jews should have political self-sovereignty and is the patriotic sentiment behind the Establishment of the State of Israel. It is entirely political in nature and largest number of Zionists are Christians.

Judaism is a religion that recognizes the Torah as its holy book and follows traditions of Divine Origin that are established and interpreted by Rabbis. Judaism has both a religious and ethnic component.

The fact that most Jews are Zionists is something we would expect in the same way that most followers of the Armenian Apostolic Church support Armenia and that most followers of the Greek Orthodox Church support Greece. If an ethno-religious group has a state that identifies with people of that ethno-religious group, the group will identify with that state since they are like family.

No. Jewish is the derivative adjective while Jew is the noun. So Jewish people refers to people who are Jewish, i.e. Jews.

It is the same as: Spanish is the derivative adjective while Spaniard is the noun. So Spanish people refers to people who are Spanish, i.e. Spaniards.
