If you ask the same question to the Hassidic group of Jews known as the Naturei Karta, they will tell you that Abraham was not a Zionist
BECAUSE
Zionists first came into existence only relatively recently, i.e., about a couple of hundred years ago! And that they were Jews who have violated Torah doctrines/dictates by seeking to establish a homeland for the Jews before the advent of their Messiah! And, in this regard, the Zionists had even resorted to terroristic means. Recall that some of the early leaders of Israel ---
Begin, Shamir, Rabin and Peres as well as Sharon --- were terrorists who were involved with the Irgun, Haganah & etc. I understand that the Naturei Karta believes that, as a consequence of the Zionists' violation of one or more sacred dictates, the Zionists' efforts to create a secure homeland for their brethren and other Jews have not been crowned with success ever since 1948 when Israel was formed with the connivance (or blessings, if you like) of Britain, France and the US. Some Karmists believe that the Zionists' systematic murder of Muslim leaders using precision munitions from the air has brought retribution to Israel. It would appear the Zionists were cursed with bad luck from the get-go, and, quite recently, their most illustrious leader, Sharon, was (providentially, as far as the Arabs are concerned) incapacitated at a time when his fellow Zionists needed him most! And don't forget that the score of Hizbollah vs. Israel to date is 2-0 in favour of Hizbollah! And Kahane, one of your heroes, was shot by a Syrian in America.
Today we also have Zionists who are not Jews!!! Zionists are
mostly secular folks (hypocrites included) who love to use Judaism as a protective cover from which to stigmatize others with anti-semitism and to threaten them.
