Zionism is a political movement. Before 1967 plus a couple years it was condemned by the religious and still today in Israel the ultra-orthodox condemn the state of Israel. But 1967 started recruiting the religious fruitcakes to the cause.
The issue is the supposed scripture involved was for centuries read to say, because that is what it does say, Messiah first, return to Israel after and because of the Messiah. Return first is a political reversal of religious views.
