The Hebrew name Tzion (ציון), or “Zion” as it is commonly translated, appears at least 157 times in the Bible. These verses refer alternately to a “Mount Zion,”, “the daughter of Zion,”, “virgin daughter of Zion,” and many of them are just plain “Zion.”
It is misleading to call Zionism a progressive liberation movement when it was always a geographical REAL place that was meant for Jews to RETURN to.
