Originally it wasn't, it was about finding a home nation for Jews in exodus. However they made it into a nation for Jews only and that's where things got messy.

It has always been a fascist project. I recommend that you read this article

I did read that, I'ts just very overtly biassed. I dislike that this writer made it about Marxism, which it doesn't really have anything to do with, ideologically. I also object of retoactively using the term fascism for anything dating before Benito Mussolini, as he kind of coined the term. Any use of the term before that is couterfactual. Ethno Nationalism is a more proper term.

The original Judenstaat of Herzl never spoke of a pure Judish state where Palestinians were to be expunged from. Thats quite recent.

Zionism was never a anti-marxist thing, just the pogroms of the post revolutionary Russia (which by some -misguidedly- is thought of as a Marxist state) were a catalist.
