LH, Zionism hardly exists anymore, and hasn't since 1949, except as a pejorative used against Israeli policies. Even when it did, its primary purpose was to encourage emigration to land purchased in Palestine rather than the eviction of local residents. It is rather like calling any right-wing government or politician "fascist", whether or not what they advocate has any resemblance to the economic and political theories of fascism.
