Wow, talk about vilifying the other side. I thought this was a civil discussion - can't we just stick to racial epithets?
I have always thought that zionism as an idea shouldn't be seen as a purely Jewish movement to reestablish their homeland, but a term to represent movements to reclaim homelands in general.
Setting aside the mass genocide the Israelites committed to originally claim that homeland* (or the ongoing Palestine issue today), perhaps we can just paraphrase Marcus Garvey - Tahiti for the Hawaiians? India for the Tahitians? Africa for us all?

The problem is important, but infinitely more complex than any solution I've heard.
*Joshua 8 (one city sample of establishing a homeland)

24 And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
25 And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.
