Einstein was a promoter of Zionism and a Jew, but not a Semite.

Einstein was a German and born in Ulm.

'Semites' are people, that live in the middle east. You could (somehow) 
translate this terms with 'Arabs' (what Einstein wasn't).

Zionism is also not predominately Jewish, since Judaism is a religion 
and Zionism a political movement.

Main supporters of this movement have not been Jews (or Semites). E.g. 
Winston Churchill was a supporter of Zionism and he was not particularly 
religious.

The connection between ethnic groups, political movement and religion is 
actually more difficult than you think.

In a way Islam, Christianity and Judaism belong actually the same 
believe system called 'monotheism'.

A German historian named Karl Heinz Ohlig had found out, that the early 
Islam was a variant of the 'per-Nicean' Syrian Christianity, called 
'Arianism'.

The Arabs adopted this believe after they conquered the city Merv in the 
empire of the Sassanides. The Arians had kind of Messias (prophet), who 
belonged to the Jewish sect of the Essenes, who live in Qumran at the 
Dead Sea.

This prophet had the Aramaic title 'Mahmed', which means 'the one to be 
praised'.

That guy got later the Greek name 'Iesos', which later morphed into 'Jesus'.

The Arabs translated the Qumran scripts into Arabic around 830 and 
changed 'Mahmed' to 'Mohammed' (and added a few centuries).

So all these religions are in fact only one, but had been altered in 
many ways by the rulers in the various Empires involved.

The Romans fused they local pantheon into the early Christian believe, 
which in the beginning was a variant of Judaism. Out came what we call 
'Catholicism'.

Against the early Christians ('Arians') revolted and were therefore 
prosecuted by the Romans.

They fled from Syria along the Silk Road to the Empire of the Sassanides 
and settled in Merv, which was then the largest city in the World.
