Even though this song was NOT recorded by Bob Marley and the Wailers, I still want to talk about it's meaning.
"Zionism is a new invention in Judaism" - well this song, and this verse, which literally EVERYONE knows, is proof of the opposite. The Jewish people's yearning to be free and independent in their land - Zion - goes back to the Babylonian exile, at least 400 years BEFORE the Roman's conquered the land and called it the province of Judea.
So, Zionism is almost as old as the Jewish people themselves.
