YES. Zionism is the Jewish nationalist movement leading to the creation of the State of Israel and had been growing since its formation as a coherent ideological concept in the 1890s.

What is the traditional Zionist movement?

I am not entirely sure what the term "traditional Zionist" means. Zionism is a modern nationalist movement advocating for a Jewish Nation-State in the historical "Land of Israel" and did not exist in any form prior to the late 1800s. (While there was certainly a desire among Jews to return to the "Land of Israel" prior to Zionism, this was based solely on the hope of divine action to bring the Jews home, not a political movement to attempt to create a mechanism for this.) If you mean "traditional" as in "most historical", then Zionism (until around the 1950s) was predominantly a secular Jewish movement. It was eschewed by the Religious Jewish community as an act of blasphemy, since it was a rejection of God's mandated Exile for the Jewish people. (Some religious Jews such as Neturei Karta still hold to this objection.) Therefore, the historical and original Zionist movement is secular. If you mean "traditional" as in "most religious", then Religious Zionism as a movement started with Rabbi Avraham Kook who claimed that the secular Jewish State was insured survival by God so that the beginnings of the Messianic Plan for the world could occur. This movement has since grown and expanded with the occupation of the West Bank, further "legitimizing" God's protection of Israel.


What does anti-Zionism mean?

Anti-Zionism is a movement which denies the right of Israel to exist, and the right of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel. However, Israel has been the Jewish homeland since biblical times. Although much of Anti-Zionism is devoted particularly to the State of Israel, Anti-Zionists reject the idea of any Jewish State anywhere in the world as an unnatural, undesirable, and wrong situation.
