Good clue, don't know why someone hasn't picked up on it. Sir Isaac Isaacs, first home grown Australian Governor General. Fanatical for the British Empire and came to broader international attention after coming out as an anti-Zionist of Jewish heritage after the King David Hotel bombing in Israel/Palestine in 1946.

Correct again, I thought you might pick it up but you did get good hints!

About governor Isaacs, he was not an anti-zionist on his account, as far as I know that is.
You see, zionism means different things to different people and in his time the dominant versions were those of a cultural movement for the seculars and a spiritual movement for the religious.

The political version of zionism was criticized and rejected by both the seculars and the religious.
Secular criticism was it might make the Jewish diaspora seem disloyal to the governments of the various countries where they were native.
Religious criticism was based on the bible, some pact between the Jews and God about not trying to establish a state (see orthodox jews against zionism).
I like this in particular:
