Zionists just didnt like it because even though it is resource rich and nearly completely uninhabitted, it wasnt developed. They much preferred the thought of invading the already inhabitted holy land of their dusty old storybooks. They didnt “need” it and it wasnt “necessary”, nor was it theirs just because they had a small, very short lived state there 3000 years ago. The formation of Israel was always simple greed. Nothing more or less.
They had a homeland when Israel was formed. They’d had it since 1934, The Jewish Autonomous Oblast (JAO) in Russia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Autonomous_Oblast
