Anti-Imperialism Wikipedia identifying zionism as a colonization movement isn't wrong, infact that's what early zionists thought of it, here is a list of just some of them.
Let's start with the second association that bought the most land in Palestine, it was called "Palestine Jewish Colonization Association."
Nevertheless, during the late 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, many successful land purchases were made through organizations such as the Palestine Jewish Colonization Association (PJCA)
PJCA is considered one of the earliest movements to help Jewish settlements in Palestine.
The Palestine national fund association wasn't so different, which was also the association that bought the most land, it was also full of members who thought of zionism as colonialism like Menachem here, the head of the association who was the most well known leader of it
Menachem Ussishkin is a influential Zionist leader and member of the Jewish National Fund, he focused on land acquisition and settlements that purposely in alot of cases forced arabs out, "he was appointed head of the Zionist Commission in Palestine.[1] In his pamphlet "Our Program", he advocated group settlement based on labour Zionism" served as Secretary of the First Zionist Congress, among the founders of the BILU movement and the Moscow branch of the Hovevei Zion, He also joined the Bnei Moshe society founded by Ahad HaAm. Russian-born zionist leader and head of the Jewish National Fund.
In his own words:"The main reason for the immigration of Jews to Palestine is the consolidation and colonization of the land." (Menachem Ussishkin, Speech at the Zionist Congress, 1923)
By the end of the mandate, more than half the Jewish-owned land was held by the two largest Jewish funds, the Jewish National Fund and the Palestine Jewish Colonization Association. By the end of the British Mandate period in 1948, Jewish farmers had cultivated 425,450 dunams of land, while Arab farmers had 5,484,700 dunams of land under cultivation.[22]
In the 1930s, most of the land was bought from landowners. Of the land that the Jews bought, 52.6% were bought from non-Palestinian landowners, 24.6% from Palestinian landowners, 13.4% from government, churches, and foreign companies, and only 9.4% from fellaheen (farmers).[20]
The founder himself, Ben gurion said: "Palestine is grossly under populated. It contains vast colonization potential which the Arabs neither need nor are qualified"
"There’s no example in history of colonization without military force... Zionism is a colonizing adventure." ~Tom Segev, One Palestine, Complete: Jews and Arabs under the British Mandate.
Ben gurion actions were widely described as colonialism by many historians, he was the father of modern israel as we know it, his ethnic cleansing of arabs for jewish settlements and his burning of arab villages for jewish settlements is undeniably settler colonialism, the zionist apologetica for that is that he had to do that due to arabs engaging in a war with them, ignoring the fact that that doesn't even negate or absolve settler colonialism or ethnic cleanse.
Netanyahu father(benzion) for instance also was very honest about the intentions of zionism as he perfectly explains what settler colonialism is.
"The British didn’t leave Palestine because of the Arabs, but because of the Jews. The Jewish resistance was what caused them to leave. We came here to establish a Jewish state in a place that was populated by others, and we did this by force. It is impossible to understand Zionism without this view."

Between 1948 and 1977, when the Labour party dominated politics and culture, the Israeli left disputed the notion that theirs was a colonial project
.John Collins states that multiple scholars have established that "the architects of Zionism were conscious and often unapologetic about their status as colonizers whose right to the land superseded that of Palestine’s Arab inhabitants".[33]
Considered the father of the movement as we know it, Herzl sought help from multiple colonialists to help him in his colonialist project.
"In the missive, the Zionist leader writes to the key imperial player that Britain should support the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine as part of the imperial design because “it is something colonial.”"
Notably herzl was also known for his colonial language, like the well known white man burden.
"We should there [in Palestine] form a portion of the rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism." ~herzl .
Yet in the early days, the Zionist movement was astonishingly honest about its existence as a form of colonialism. The founding fathers of Zionism, such as Herzl, Nordau, Ussishkin and Jabotinsky –among others- employed the same colonial tropes and tactics used by Europeans to legitimize their imperialism. Not only was Zionism colonialism in practice
Zionists openly referred to it as such; for example, Herzl sought counsel from Cecil Rhodes on how best to proceed with the process of colonization, describing Zionism as ‘something colonial’. To drive this point even further, the first Zionist bank established was named the ‘Jewish Colonial Trust’ and the whole endeavor was supported by the ‘Palestine Jewish Colonization Association’ and the ‘Jewish Agency Colonization Department’.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_Leumi
Bank Leumi (Hebrew: בנק לאומי, lit. National Bank; Arabic: بنك لئومي) is an Israeli bank. It was founded on February 27, 1902, in Jaffa as the Anglo Palestine Company as subsidiary of the Jewish Colonial Trust (Jüdische Kolonialbank) Limited[3]: p.19 formed before in London by members of the Zionist movement to promote the industry, construction, agriculture, and infrastructure of the land hoped to ultimately become Israel. Today, Bank Leumi is Israel's largest bank (by total assets as of 2015), with overseas offices in Luxembourg,[4]
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Colonisation_Association
The Jewish Colonisation Association[1][2][3] (JCA or ICA; Yiddish: ייִק"אַ), was an organisation created on September 11, 1891, by Baron Maurice de Hirsch. Its aim was to facilitate the mass emigration of Jews from Russia and other Eastern European countries, by settling them in agricultural settlements on lands purchased by the committee in North America (Canada and the United States), South America (Argentina and Brazil) and Ottoman Palestine. Today ICA is still active in Israel in supporting specific development projects under the name Jewish Charitable Association (ICA).[4]
At the end of the day it was a group of European settlers claiming an already inhabited land for an exclusivist ethnic state, while planning to ‘spirit the penniless population across the border’ (herzl quote) through various means.
Ze ev jebotsky one of the most well known zionist leaders, the one who created the party that currently rules israel, Likud and the leader of the party that preceded it.
"It is utterly impossible to obtain the voluntary consent of the Palestine Arabs for converting 'Palestine' from an Arab country into a country with a Jewish majority."
"Zionist colonization, even the most restricted, must either be terminated or carried out in defiance of the will of the native population. This colonization can, therefore, continue and develop only under the protection of a force independent of the local population – an iron wall which the native population cannot break through."
"And it made no difference whatever whether the colonists behaved decently or not. The companions of Cortez and Pizzaro or (as some people will remind us) our own ancestors under Joshua Ben Nun, behaved like brigands; but the Pilgrim Fathers, the first real pioneers of North America, were people of the highest morality, who did not want to do harm to anyone, least of all to the Red Indians, and they honestly believed that there was room enough in the prairies both for the Paleface and the R3dsk!n. Yet the native population fought with the same ferocity against the good colonists as against the bad"
"It is not sufficient to lay claim to what we desire; it must be settled and inhabited. Colonization carries this requirement within it." (Ze'ev Jabotinsky, "The Iron Wall (We and the Arabs))
Not really unexpected from someone who is the founder of the revisionist movement in israel aswell.
Japotinsky support base was mostly located in Poland, and his activities focused on attaining British support to help with the development of the Yishuv. Another area of major support for Jabotinsky was Latvia, where his speeches in Russian made an impression on the largely Russian-speaking Latvian Jewish community.[31]
Arthur Ruppin - A leading figure in the Zionist Organization, who was instrumental in Jewish settlement in Palestine.
"Zionism is the colonization of Palestine, the displacement of the Palestinian Arab people." And "Our work is a colonization movement in all its aspects." ~ "The Jews in the Modern World"
Moshe Smilansky,a very well known zionist writer.
"Settling the land means creating facts that do not come about by talking but by doing, by a daily effort to make something out of the nothing. ("A Handbook for Pioneers," 1924)
Max nodau was a very popular Zionist leader, physician, author, and social critic,He was a co-founder of the Zionist Organization together with Theodor Herzl, and president or vice-president of several Zionist congresses.
"Let us colonize; may we found colonies, large and small, with Zion as our base, until our national roots strike deep into the soil, until the new community has become an organic part of the ancient homeland." (Max Nordau, "Zionism and Territorialism," 1906)
"Zionism is to bring the civilization of Europe to the uncultivated lands of the East."-The Invention of the Jewish People.
If you also liked that one "uncivilised" video about how israel uses sex to sell zionism or have knowledge about the new identity the jews tried to adopt, away from the prejudiced stereotypes, i think it's interesting to know he coined the term "muscular jew"
Nordau also, at the 1898 Zionist Congress, coined the term "muscular Judaism" (Muskeljudentum) as a descriptor of a Jewish culture and religion which directed its adherents to reach for certain moral and corporeal ideals which, through discipline, agility and strength, would result in a stronger, more physically assured, Jew who would outshine the long-held stereotype of the weak, intellectually sustained, Jew. He further explored the concept of the "muscle Jew" in a 1900 article of the Jewish Gymnastics Journal.[10]
Eliezer Ben-Yehuda(the guy who revived hebrew) did not only see himself as colonialist but supported western colonialism.
"We must first prepare a series of extensive colonization operations."
"The Jewish colonists bring a civilized society to an underdeveloped country."~ Tongue of the Prophets: The Life Story of Eliezer Ben Yehuda.
all of the following ones are very popular politicians and writers in favour of zionism.
Isaac Deutscher: "Zionism is a form of nationalism that denies the nationalism of the people among whom the Zionist lives."- The Non-Jewish Jew and Other Essays, i think.
Although isaac was at the time anti zionist, when he said the above quote, that just serves as recognising it as it is before he became a zionist at the wake of the holocaust.
Judah Magnes - "Zionism must be, and is, a part of the general movement for the reorganization and liberation of the world, and its aims are the same as those proclaimed by the American and French revolutions."
As a young leader in the Zionist movement, Magnes was instrumental in organizing support for Jewish settlements in Palestine. He also helped found the American Jewish Committee and Hadassah, playing a key role in galvanizing Jewish support for the Zionist cause in the United States, he Found the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Henrietta Szold-"Zionism is a return to the fold of colonialism. I cannot understand this. Colonialism is dead." despite her claim here, she became a zionist later on. "However, Szold became a key figure in Zionist history, founding Hadassah, a Zionist women's organization" although she was more lax with arabs than other zionist as she co founded ihud a supposedly more liberal zionist movement.
Yehoshafat Harkabi "Zionism is a colonizing adventure and it therefore stands or falls by the question of armed force." - Israel's Fateful Hour, “Zionism had to evolve into a colonial movement in order to succeed, but colonialism in modern times is a dangerous and discredited endeavor, doomed to bring disaster upon the state of Israel.”
Israeli military officer, intelligence chief, and academic,Harkabi served as the head of Israeli Military Intelligence from 1955 to 1959, although later on, a critic of israel policies in west bank and gaza.
Uri Avnery :"Zionism is a colonialist movement. Zionists, if they are honest, acknowledge this." -Israel Without Zionists: A Plea for Peace in the Middle East. Macmillan.
He was well known for encouraging other zionists to recognise zionism as colonialism due to the fact that he was more of a "leftist zionist" after he grew up, although, He was a member of the youth movement Hashomer Hatzair, which had a significant role in early Zionist activism,served in the Palmach, the elite strike force of the Haganah during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, served as a member of the Knesset, leftist zionism is truly something.
Yitzhak Tabenkin: "We are an army without a front, a colonizing and conquering army."-Tabenkin’s political speeches and writings in the Labor Zionist Archives.
one of the founders of the kibbutz movement in Israel,Tabenkin was a central figure in Poale Zion (Workers of Zion) and helped found HaKibbutz HaMeuhad, the largest kibbutz movement
Tabenkin was an ardent believer in the idea of Greater Israel, meaning that the Jewish state should include all of the land of historical Palestine, including both sides of the Jordan River. Unlike other figures in the Labor Zionist movement, who were willing to accept a partitioned Jewish state as envisioned by the 1947 UN Partition Plan, Tabenkin opposed any form of partition.
"The Jewish people have the right to the whole of Eretz Yisrael, and we must settle the entire land, from the sea to the Jordan, and beyond the Jordan as well."- "The Partition of Palestine is a betrayal of the Zionist cause. We cannot relinquish any part of the land that rightfully belongs to the Jewish people." Anita Shapira, Land and Power: The Zionist Resort to Force.
Berl Katznelson:"Zionism is a form of colonialism.The character of Jewish settlement in Palestine is not merely ‘in’ but ‘on’ this land."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berl_Katznelson
Simon Dubnow: "zionism must now contend with the nationalism of the indigenous people, which sees the Jews as foreign colonizers." While he was somewhat of a advocate for a jewish state in Palestine, he very much recognised it as what it is.
Despite being sympathetic to the movement's ideas, he believed its ultimate goal, the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine achieved with international support and substantial Jewish immigration, to be politically, socially, and economically impossible, calling it "a beautiful messianic dream".[14]
Dubnow thought Zionism just another sort of messianism, and he thought the possibility of persuading the Jews of Europe to move to Palestine and establish a state fantastical. Beyond improbability, he worried that this impulse would drain energy away from the task of creating an autonomous Jewish center in the diaspora.[1]: 21
His formulated ideology became known as Jewish Autonomism,[18][19] once widely popular in eastern Europe, being adopted in its various derivations by Jewish political parties such as the Bund and his Folkspartei. Autonomism involved a form of self-rule in the Jewish diaspora, which Dubnow called "the Jewish world-nation".
In honor of Simon Dubnow and as a center for undertaking research on Jewish culture, in 1995, the Leibniz Institute for Jewish History and Culture – Simon Dubnow was founded.[55]
Mordechai Bentov "Zionism is a colonial movement and colonialism is unjust."

Nahum sokolow:"There is no difference between the colonization of the Land of Israel and the colonization of the other lands. It is all one and the same and must be judged by the same standards."- History of Zionism 1600–1918

He is most well known for his role in the Balfour Declaration ,Sokolow was crucial in securing international support for the Zionist cause, particularly in the lead-up to the Balfour Declaration aswell. As a diplomat he worked with Chaim Arlosoroff in lobbying British officials for a declaration that would support the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. His diplomatic efforts extended beyond even Britain, as he also secured backing from France and Italy for the Zionist movement. This endorsement of Zionism was a huge step toward the eventual creation of the State of Israel. He held Many leadership positions within the World Zionist Organization (WZO), including Secretary-General and later President.
Sokolow represented the Zionist movement in several international forums, including the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, where he argued for the inclusion of the Balfour Declaration in the League of Nations' mandate over Palestine. His ability to present the Zionist cause in a way that aligned with European colonial interests made him an effective advocate in diplomatic circles. In his writings, Sokolow compared the Jewish settlement of Palestine to other colonial ventures by European powers, arguing that Zionism was part of the broader civilizing mission of Europe. He framed the colonization of Palestine as a progressive movement, which aimed to bring European culture, technology, and values to the "undeveloped" land of Palestine. His writings were also heavily influential in shaping the narrative of Zionism as a return to a historical homeland, rather than merely a colonial enterprise.
