Is there anything Zionists love more than conflating Judaism and Zionism?
It's a really dark propaganda tool. If they can convince people that Judaism and Zionism are the same thing, then they've convinced people that all Jewish people are culpable for Zionist imperialism. Basically setting up the Blood Libel conspiracy theory, but in reverse. It tries to put non-Zionist Jews in to a position where they're held responsible for Zionism, leaving them isolated politically and socially to coerce them in to supporting Israel.
A big part of the goal is to make it politically unsafe to be Jewish outside of Israel, forcing diaspora Jews to come to Israel and support and further Zionist causes.
Hence why Israel cozies up with far right parties/groups in Europe and even materially supports literal neonazi paramilitaries (Azov even before the invasion).
