I'm no expert but I believe that Zionism was based upon the idea of
Negation of the Diaspora, not Exodus.

Since the Exodus story has it that the Israelites were slaves in Egypt
(despite the utter lack of archaeological evidence that they were ever
there en masse), placing Israel in Egypt would seem rather insulting.

Fun historical fact: the land of Palestine was so named by the Roman
Emperor Hadrian after he kicked the Jews out of their homes and forced
them to leave. The name was a Romanization of the ancient land of
Philistia, home of the Philistines, despite that they were long gone
by this point. So the entire existence of Palestine is basically one
big fat Roman middle finger to the Jews.

Not that any of this is meant to condone any of the violence in the Middle East.
