Answer: The main goal was to defend the formation of a Jewish nation as well as the creation of the Jewish state
Explanation: Zionism is a term derived from the Hebrew word "Tzion", Zion, which means "summit," "high place," "mount." Zion is one of the hills near Jerusalem, which was conquered by King David, and is considered one of the sacred places of the three Abrahamic religions: Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Appearing in the late nineteenth century, Zionism was a Jewish nationalist movement whose central objective was to defend the formation of a Jewish nation as well as the creation of the Jewish state, or an Eretz Israel, that is, the “Land of Israel”.
