Because Zionist is descriptor of a member of an ideology without explicit or implicit respect to any claim to ownership or dominion over anything, while Israel is a term which explicitly gives respect to an unfounded and illegal claim for dominion over the lands of Palestine.
Use of the term "Israel" also implies acceptance of the Zionist entities claimed links to the bronze age kingdom.
Which actually does their cause more harm, if you remember the Israelis acquired the land through genocide then, too.
Fair enough!
