Palestine
A zionist is a member of the Jewish movement that arose in the late 19th century in response to growing anti-Semitism and sought to reestablish a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Modern Zionism is concerned with the support and development of the state of Israel.
...promising them a 'home' in Palestine. Only much later the term 'home' came under Zionist pressure to be interpreted as 'independent Jewish State' , much to the dismay of the Arab world.
Hamas and Zionist extremist groups actively prevent peace and facilitate violence in furtherance of a one-state vision where the other group has minimal rights or presence. In the case of Hamas, Jews have no future or legitimacy in their vision of a unitary Palestine and will be to ethnically cleanse the Jews from Israel. In the case of Zionist Extremists like Kach Kahane Chai, Palestinian Muslims have minimal rights or must be repressed in a unitary Jewish State.
Being a Zionist only means one thing: Believing that the Jews have a right to an independent State and that this State should be in the Land of Israel. As a result, the main goal of Zionism has consistently been the establishment and maintenance of such a state.Many people incorrectly believe that Zionism refers to the Anti-Semitic depictions of a worldwide Jewish Cabal or some other conspiracy theory. However, that is not what Zionism is.

Some people believe that Einstein threatened to withhold nuclear weapons information from Roosevelt to become a Zionist. This is patently untrue. Einstein was not an active Zionist until midway through World War II and was not responsible for convincing politicians that a Jewish State was necessary. Chaim Weizmann, a noted Zionist, did convince President Truman to support the Zionist cause, but he did it with good old-fashioned conversation. Truman had to even fight the State Department to make the case that Israel should exist, which should show that he was convinced. (Otherwise he could have sat on his hands and said "I tried, but the State Department had other plans" to any potential blackmailer.)

The independent Jewish state was established by the United Nations in 1948, and this partition is still causing a lot of agressive wars between the Muslim Palestinians and the Jewish.
