Zionism in the movement for Jewish national self-determination in the Land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael). It encompasses ideologies from socialist to capitalist, liberal to conservative, and from territorial minimalist to territorial maximalist. It is a movement which empowers Jews and led to the establishment of the State of Israel. It allows Jews to finally retake their place among the nations of the world.
