Essentially, Zionism refers to the movement for the return of the Jewish people to their homeland and the restoration of Israel as outlined in the Old Testament. According to promises God made to Abraham and his descendants, the promised land would be given to them. This land would span from the Nile to Tigris and Euphrates river, I believe.

Today, decades after the actual founding of a Jewish state, Zionism continues to be the guiding nationalist movement of the majority of Jews around the world who believe in, support and identify with the State of Israel.

Some Jews think Zionism is wrong and isn't right.

I have often seen people draw parallels between NWO and Zionism, and I got to admit, I don't really know much about this. All I know is that Hitler felt the need to destroy the movement of Zionism

What exactly is a Zionist

The rationale for this idea was that Zionism is a colonialist movement that ssumes that the racial superiority of the Jews
The promised land had not definitive boundaries, and was already given to the jews thousands of years ago, once with abraham and later with moses.
On this basis of their similar ideologies about ethnicity and nationhood, National Socialists and Zionists worked together for what each group believed was in its own national interest. As a result, the Hitler government vigorously supported Zionism and Jewish emigration to Palestine from 1933 until 1940-1941, when the Second World War prevented extensive collaboration.
Even as the Third Reich became more entrenched, many German Jews, probably a majority, continued to regard themselves, often with considerable pride, as Germans first. Few were enthusiastic about pulling up roots to begin a new life in far-away Palestine. Nevertheless, more and more German Jews turned to Zionism during this period. Until late 1938, the Zionist movement flourished in Germany under Hitler. The circulation of the Zionist Federation's bi-weekly Jüdische Rundschau grew enormously. Numerous Zionist books were published. "Zionist work was in full swing" in Germany during those years, the Encyclopaedia Judaica notes. A Zionist convention held in Berlin in 1936 reflected "in its composition the vigorous party life of German Zionists."7
The SS was particularly enthusiastic in its support for Zionism. An internal June 1934 SS position paper urged active and wide-ranging support for Zionism by the government and the Party as the best way to encourage emigration of Germany's Jews to Palestine. This would require increased Jewish self-awareness. Jewish schools, Jewish sports leagues, Jewish cultural organizations -- in short, everything that would encourage this new consciousness and self-awareness - should be promoted, the paper recommended.8

Is it true that the Nazis had a 'transfer agreement' for some jews to be actively relocated to Palestine?

Read Genesis 15:18-21. The land is from the River of Egypt to the Euphrates River....Israel has never fully controlled all of this land. This will happen when Christ returns to estalblish his millenial kingdom on earth.
