Thanks. Currently I think I can summarize the Zion concept as the idea that Jews should have a land they can call their own, interpreted in modern times to be a nation state.

That's one version of it, and the version used to cover for the nefarious version. But political zionism is a supremacist ideology and really has nothing at all to do with Judaism. Jews in Name Only. Its why the Orthodox Jews are so viciously opposed to it.
Ok until I get up to speed, is it more accurate to focus angst towards Zionists or Jews (not all, obviously). To limit criticism to Israel I think is too easily passed off as "nation states doing nation state things", when it clearly transcends that.
