While Zionism claims to base itself in Judaism it is really more about European antisemitism. Its history begins in the 1800s or so, not over a thousand years ago, among European Jews responding to antisemitism across Europe. Pogroms, apartheid, all kinds of violence. It is more about ethnicity and colonialism than religion.
Prominent christian zionism predates jewish zionism.
