Where DO you get your information?
Look at the NAME of the movement, that's all the CLUE you need: ZIONist

What "steal"?  There's never NOT been a Jewish presence in
"Palestine"
Land they BOUGHT from those who were squatting on the land previously

Bullcrap!  All through the past 2,000 years the "Palestinians" were
universally understood to refer to "Jews"!

There were a few wandering Arab nomads, who did not consider the land
theirs (they didn't settle ANYWHERE, they just crapped on wherever they
visited, then left)
