Zionism

The term Zionism is derived from the word Zion that in the Hebrew language and cultural-historical tradition of the Jews refers to the citadel (acropolis) of the city of Jerusalem as well as to the Kingdom of Heaven. From the matter of politics, Zionism refers to the political-national movement of the European Jews in the very late 19^th century for the very purpose to re-create a Jewish homeland in the form of a nation-state in the Middle East – Israel.[i]
