No doubt any large, serious political enterprise (faction) is aware of Zionism (since there seem to be a lot of fanatical Zionists who must be dealt with), but so it would also be involved with other important factions. Zionism has been unusually successful, but it is not the end of the story; there are other factions who may have different interests. I think the important thing to keep in mind is that the US set of factions seems to be failing, for instance, some important classes or categories of the population are declining in lifespan and quality of life. Many of the general population experience this decline vividly and it has already had political consequences, for example the Trump phenomenon. The Zionist focus set can't take care of the population in general regardless of how clever their games are because it is too tight. The consequences will be disastrous -- for example, Gaza.
I don't think the CIA care about Zionism as such - achieving a homeland for Jewish people - they could care less about Jews or anyone else. The Zionists in Israel are just useful idiots for the US military strategy across the region. For the US, local politics - who owns or runs some country or region is of purely temporary interest. Groups - like anti Saddam Kurds, or anti Russian Afghans will be supported, even as their land is reduced to a battlefield, until they are no longer useful, or become a problem, or the geo-political scene changes. Then they are summarily dropped - as, I believe, the Zionists will eventually find out. The CIA hates everyone equally, including a good proportion of the American people.
“don't agree that it is particularly linked with Zionism”
Clearly, you haven’t been paying attention.
