You craftily truncated the quote with the intention to deceive the reader.
The full quote is:
Zionism is an ethnic or ethno-cultural nationalist movement that emerged in Europe in the late 19th century and aimed for the establishment of a Jewish state through the colonization of a land outside of Europe, with an eventual focus on the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine.

Political movements are not a protected group.
Anyone can believe in Zionism. It isn't a reserved belief for specific people.

Similarly, criticism of Israel is not anti-Semitism.
Not all Jews are Israelis, and not all Israelis are Jews. Anti-Semitism refers to discrimination of Jews, not to discrimination or criticism of Israel, which is a country, not an ethnicity.
Antisemitism (also spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism)[a] is hostility to, prejudice towards, or discrimination against, Jews.

Well you've had a couple of hours to present some data to support your claim.
Where is it?

One of the problems is defining Zionism, and the best description is a self-defeating paradox:
And Professor of Israel Studies at SOAS, Colin Shindler told us: “Zionism today is the desire to turn Israel into Zion—and to create a just and fair society.

“In this context Zionism also means finding a solution to the Palestinian question such that both peoples can practice their right to national self-determination.”

The second sentence contradicts the first.

You don't need to be a Jew to be a Zionist.

Throughout his political career, the US president has considered himself a Zionist​

5. ‘Zionism’ as a concept remains a valid topic for academic and political debate, both within and outside Israel. The word ‘Zionist’ (or worse, ‘Zio’) as a term of abuse, however, has no place in a civilised society. It has been tarnished by its repeated use in antisemitic and aggressive contexts. Antisemites frequently use the word ‘Zionist’ when they are in fact referring to Jews, whether in Israel or elsewhere. Those claiming to be “anti-Zionist, not antisemitic” should do so in the knowledge that 59% of British Jewish people consider themselves to be Zionists. If these individuals genuinely mean only to criticise the policies of the Government of Israel, and have no intention to offend British Jewish people, they should criticise “the Israeli Government”, and not “Zionists”. For the purposes of criminal or disciplinary investigations, use of the words ‘Zionist’ or ‘Zio’ in an accusatory or abusive context should be considered inflammatory and potentially antisemitic. This should be communicated by the Government and political parties to those responsible for determining whether or not an incident should be regarded as antisemitic.

Response
The Crown Prosecution Service will consider the words ‘Zionist’ or ‘Zio’ for inclusion as part of its current guidance for prosecutors. The guidance covers lessons from practice and reflects on the changing nature of language and terminology in relation to anti-Semitism. As with all terminology,
consideration would be given to all the facts and the specific circumstances of its use.

Politics in Israel are dominated by Zionist parties. They traditionally fall into three camps, the first two being the largest: Labor Zionism, revisionist Zionism, and religious Zionism.

If the Israeli government is dominated by Zionists, then it's perfectly acceptable, in a political debate to identify those Zionists.
To not be allowed to identify the Zionists, is tantamount to restriction of free political speech.
Not all Zionists are Jews, so that recommendation in that Report is blatant nonsense.
It's a good job that that section of the Report was not adopted in the guidance for prosecutors, otherwise it would be considered anti-Semitic to describe Joe Biden as a Zionist. :rolleyes:

I posted this a while ago but clearly you need a refresher course in Freedom of Speech in the UK.

...but now we know that holding such anti-Zionist beliefs are protected in the workplace by UK law thanks to Professor David Miller’s landmark legal victory this week. A Bristol-based Employment Tribunal, one of a group of agencies which the UK government describes as independent arbitrators of disputes over employment law, has ruled that “anti-Zionist beliefs qualified as a philosophical belief and as a protected characteristic.”

Noting the significance of the victory, Miller said that it was unclear whether a belief in the idea that Zionism is a racist, imperialist and colonial ideology could be protected under the Equality Act 2010 as a philosophical belief. This case has proven that anti-Zionist beliefs are indeed protected under the law of the land in the UK.

The case is not only a vindication of Miller, who successfully sued the University of Bristol for wrongful dismissal, but the verdict has also exonerated those who have been warning for years about the weaponisation of anti-Semitism by the pro-Israel lobby against critics of the apartheid state.

So you say we are free to comment on racism, apartheid and genocide practiced by Zionists.

This would include the Jewish settlers invading West Bank as well as the Israeli Army operating in Gaza and elsewhere.
