You would like The Iron Wall, written by Ze'ev Jabotinsky, in 1923. The early 20th century Zionists weren't shy about being colonialists, and what their end goal was.

@populuxe1 Pretty sure the colonizing of Palestine, is still happening, as we speak. Not exactly samesies. Who is talking genocide? Wanting to end Nazi Germany wasn't wanting to genocide Germans. Wanting to end Apartheid South Africa wasn't wanting to genocide white South Africans. Wanting to end Fascist Italy wasn't wanting to genocide Italians. Wanting to end colonial India wasn't wanting to genocide the British.

Couldn't even make it through your first paragraph. It was a steaming pile of horse shit. Firstly, you don't get to use Palestinian Jews as a place holder, for the "return", after 1700 years, of hundreds of thousands of people from Russia and Europe. They weren't holding a Jewish nation. They were Palestinians, that were Jews. And, they actually opposed Zionism. The Zionist terrorist groups, Irgun and Lehi, targeted them, right alongside their Palestinian brothers and sisters. I don't get to round up people from the Americas, whose ancestors left England hundreds of years ago, "go back", claim half of England, and cleanse "our" half of its current inhabitants. If I did, it would be colonialism. Even if I did have a distant cousin living there, that said it was okay, it would still be colonialism. These are batshit crazy, absolutely moronic, arguments. You're also absolutely lying, about the land purchases. There was a massive 1945 land and peoples survey. It found that the Jews owned a majority of the land in no district. Not even close. Non Jews owned a majority in every district except 4, and owned a plurality in 3 of those (public being the 3rd owner), and second to publicly owned in only 1 district. Jews were a majority nowhere. To have a Jewish majority state would require cleansing the lands of the actual non Jewish majority.

@nevetstrevel4711 If I gather up people from the Americas, whose ancestors left England hundreds of years ago, "went back", claimed half the country as "ours", and cleansed "our" half of its current inhabitants (at least enough so that us "returnees" were in a solid majority, so we could fake being democratic), we'd be colonizers.

@populuxe1 It was very clearly argued that they had no legitimacy to exist, as they were. A single state solution, with all having equal rights, a right of return for Palestinian refugees, would end Israel, as a "Jewish state". It wouldn't end all Jews in Israel/Palestine. We likewise wanted to end ethno-state Germany, not all Germans. There is no legitimacy to Israel existing, as is.

Try reading The Iron Wall, by Ze'ev Jabotinsky, 1923.

@CyberDandy The only actual "revision" was from pre-mandate immigration Zionism, to post-mandate colonialist Zionism. Labor Zionists ended up embracing colonialism, and further, promoted the colonization of occupied territories.
