Like the title says, I'd love some links to good anti-Zionist talking points if possible, especially wrt the zionist entity's conception. I'm talking to a somewhat left leaning Jewish friend and I think I can get them fully on board with anti-Zionism (they don't agree with what the government is doing right now but they said they don't know much about how the entity was founded) and I want to give them some more sources on some stuff but I realized that I literally couldn't find anything other than like one article I was looking for with online search engines.

If anyone has proof of the first president of Israel saying that he wants to colonize Palestine and also that one old headline saying that Israel will colonize Palestine, that would be fantastic. Also, if anyone has anything on hand showing how Israel has historically abused the Jewish Palestinians who refused to become Israeli that would also help a lot.

Thank you so much in advance for your help and I'll definitely make sure to save more of my sources in the future 07

Also indulged in one of my unwise habits by randomly perusing a collection of primary documents I don't have all the context to understand. It can be dangerous because you can easily misunderstand or misconstrue. Searched the UN documents archive for items relating to Palestine or Israel with the word "colonize". (Quality of the OCR is mid.) Here is the earliest hit:

UNITED NATIONS SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON PALESTINE. VOLUME 4 : REPORT TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY : ANNEX B : ORAL EVIDENCE PRESENTED AT PRIVATE MEETINGS - A/364/ADD.3 dated 01/01/1947. Original is linked in the top right corner as a zip archive containing various languages. NL471672.PDF is english.

a few passages

green highlighting is stuff most directly relevant to your questions (as I interpreted them) while yellow is just what I thought was interesting for my own reasons.

I find it interesting going back to 1947 and seeing how everything that created the present situation was already in place. I've looked at other UN committee or assembly docs from mid-century. Even though they were created for specific contemporary situations, they're pretty much legible and you see the consistent threads running through them.
