Regarding 5: If you were in Argentina in the 50s, would you support a policy of "go back where you came from" to Nazi immigrants? Because setting aside the ethnic side, there's no way the vast majority of first-generation immigrants to Israel aren't hopelessly Zionist.
No, but I would 100% support a policy of "Anyone who the Hague or Israel (ha, my enemy's enemy) suspects of crimes of any sort gets a free ticket and a trial anytime either of them want to make a check of things."
Once people have established roots in a place, uprooting them should only be done by proper channels or in the most extreme of circumstances. Germans in Argentina, whatever their ideological background, are not a serious threat to the polity; the polity must deal with them as it would deal with any foreign immigrants, not suddenly decide that "Bad Ethnicity" must be deported.
Much more concerning would have been the dual issues of the Argentinian government letting them in in the first place, and, for that matter, specifically assisting Nazi war criminals in obscuring their identity and escaping justice.
Zionist in which sense? Zionist in the sense of supporting Israel's existence, almost certainly - Zionist in the sense of supporting the insane Greater Israel-style politics of modern colonization of Palestine and genocide, less certainly. Israeli immigrants are generally less sanguine about Palestinian genocide than native-born Israelis.
That... is fair enough.
