No one would count as zionist support when they didn't support zionism ... duh ... quite a number of resident jews did not like masses of foreigners coming in and buggering everything up, and they emphatically did not support zionism ... there were some among the various communities who did to some extent support zionism, even some arabs surprisingly, but this was mostly early on, probably not far into the twenties

Always there were far more muslim arab-speakers than zionists plus resident jews plus other communities combined ... far more

Arabs moving in were not doing so in an attempt to impose a new form of Excludostaat based on a religion they perceived hostile to their own ... they came as individuals, lived within the system, theirs was not a new mass subjugate-the-other effort coming in from offshore

There was another reason for the change you mention, though - the lack of good records on the arab side ... zionists of course had been keeping all sorts of records, being european in habits as well, and of course being the writers got to make sure they didn't lose advantage in the records department, if you know what i mean.
