    Zionism started after the Jewish Diaspora in 8th century BCE.

    No, it didn’t. Zionism started in the late 1800s/early 1900s.

          This is the very first line in the book “Der Judenstaat” by Theodor Herzl, considered to be the father of modern Zionism starting with this book. “The idea which I have developed in this pamphlet is a very old one: it is the restoration of the Jewish State.” Herzl simply renewed the idea in modern times, so many websites will list him as the start. However, a little digging into Jewish history and you will find Zionism is a very old idea.

            The idea is old but the specific movement and the execution of it is very young.

            Zionists are primarily characterised by “the end justify the means” which mostly means they will kill and expell anyone they don’t like.

            Jews however want their promised land but not specifically by violent means.
