That's mainly in the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish circles - especially in the Mea Shearim neighborhood in Jerusalem. They believe the Messiah hasn't arrived yet.

Is Zionism a hijacked form of Judaism?

No. Zionism is not even a form of Judaism. Zionism is a political ideology concerned with the nationalist aspiration of Jews to have a homeland. It is no more Judaism than the German Nationalism of Otto von Bismarck was Christian. Zionism identifies Jews as an ethnicity with almost no reference to religious belief. Zionism operates separately from the religion of Judaism and does not cite the Torah, Mishnah, Talmud, or the Rabbis in its day to day operations. Zionism also has created a relatively secular state and a significant number of Religious Jews in Israel are bothered that the State is less theocratic than they believe a Jewish State should be.


Zionism is the movement to create a state?

Zionism is the call for Jews to freely live in their ancient homeland.


What was the main goal of the zionist movement?

Being a Zionist only means one thing: Believing that the Jews have a right to an independent State and that this State should be in the Land of Israel. As a result, the main goal of Zionism has consistently been the establishment and maintenance of such a state.Many people incorrectly believe that Zionism refers to the Anti-Semitic depictions of a worldwide Jewish Cabal or some other conspiracy theory. However, that is not what Zionism is.


Does Zionism represent all Jews?

One of the main problems in answering this is that there are several different definitions of Zionism that are used. 1) Believing that the Jews have the right to a State on the historic Land of Israel. 2) Believing in a Jewish-dominant State where Non-Jews are relegated to a second-Class status. 3) Being part of a world-controlling cabal. The third, is, of course, simply another form of Anti-Semitism where the cabal is called "Zionists" instead of "Jews" since people immediately recognize the "Jewish cabal" claims to be Anti-Semitic and have a harder time recognizing the same thing with a different label. The second is a view by those who accept Israel's existence, but want to create a line between Left-Wing Zionism and Right-Wing Zionism. The latter is more akin to the types of nationalism we see in Europe currently. Even assuming that the first definition is used, not all Jews share the same understanding as to what Israel means. Many of them are Zionists, and live in Israel. Others are anti-Zionists (this group is primarily made of ultra-religious Jews who do not recognize a Jewish right to a State and very liberal secular Jews who see Israel's Jewish Nationalism to be inherently problematic). They are Jewish, and share the same believe as the Israelis, but they don't see the point in having a Jewish state. These Jews cherish their ancestry, but just practice Judaism in other countries. The majority of Jews are pro-Zionism, and a much smaller minority are against Zionism.
