So we're chatting about where to start a book about Zionism. The word itself first cropped up in 1891. But an argument can be made that it goes back to Abraham and a Holy Trinity for Jews: Covenant that includes God, the Jewish people, and the land of Israel. If they keep God's commandments, all will be well and they will multiply in the land. If they screw up, life will be miserable. The Covenant of Judaism has a deep relationship with the land of Israel itself, making it as a religion very different than Christianity.
This means that Exile is seen as punishment.
