Hakatan,
I will not comment on Zionism, except for your comment ascribing the horors of the Holocaust as a punsihment to those who followed zionism/
As others have written, the Gedolim strongly forbade leaving Europe for either the US or Palestine. Despite this, millions of Jews disregarded the psak and emigrated to the US, and a far smaller number emigrated to Palestine.
Ironically, it was the frum, chassidish , non-zionist Jews who did not leave and followed the psak who perished in the Holocaust
