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

Look up the Belfour declaration. After WW1, the British wanted middle eastern oil, a gateway to the middle east in the Mediterranean, and to pick the bones of the ottoman empire. And when I say "British," at the time, they were a global imperial colonial hegemon. When they drew up the map of the middle east, they did so with the idea of a foothold nation on the mediterranean. The Zionist movement was a reckonable political force, the justification for the creation of the state (the Naqba) is usually attributed to the horrors of ww2, but the fix was in 30 years prior. 19th century antisemitism was pretty awful, so there was a lot of political will, and a just reasoning behind it, but it was still an imperialist maneuver by the west to destabilize and control resources of the east. Jewish people were being moved in to Palestine for decades before the naqba as a part of this larger plan.
