Zionism (Hebrew: צִיּוֹנוּת Tsiyyonut [tsijoˈnut] after Zion) is a nationalist[fn 1] movement that emerged in the 19th century to espouse support for the establishment of a homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine,[3][4][5][6] a region roughly corresponding to the Land of Israel in Jewish tradition.[7][8][9][10] Following the establishment of Israel, Zionism became an ideology that supports "the development and protection of the State of Israel".[11]

Zionism is so much more than this definition, I believe this essay provides a better explanation of what Zionism was, versus what it has become...
Nope Ziononism is whats on Wikipedia, everything else is just putting together a shitshow.
I am not a fan of the United Nations but since they are highly regarded by some, I will provide some of their relevant links:

Israel’s Escalated Efforts to Silence Opposition to its Apartheid
Israel’s Fear of Criticism Reaches New Levels – Outlawing Palestinian CSOs
Anti-Zionism is not Anti-Semitism
Recommendations: We call on Member States of the Council to:
• Recognize Israel’s policies to silence opposition including against Palestinian CSOs as part of its apartheid;
• Call on Israel, to immediately cease its systematic policies and practices aimed at silencing Palestinian CSOs and HRDs, in breach of their right to freedom of expression, privacy, and association, and to urgently rescind the designations, which amount to acts of apartheid;
• Publish a bulletin to banks and financial institutions, putting them on notice to dismiss as inapplicable, Israel’s designation, and call on the European Union and States to remove ‘terrorism’ clauses as internal conditions placed on donor funding of Palestinian CSOs;
• Call for an independent investigation into Pegasus-NSO Group’s operations within Palestine, in order to identify the scope of its surveillance activities against Palestinian HRDs, and their ties to the Israeli government;
