When the 28th Zionist Congress met in Jerusalem in 1968, they adopted what was called the five points of the "Jerusalem Program" as the aims of Zionism today. They are:
* The unity of the Jewish People and the centrality of Israel in Jewish life
* The ingathering of the Jewish People in its historic homeland, Eretz Israel, through Aliyah from all countries
* The strengthening of the State of Israel which is based on the prophetic vision of justice and peace
* The preservation of the identity of the Jewish People through the fostering of Jewish and Hebrew education and of Jewish spiritual and cultural values
* The protection of Jewish rights everywhere
So even though their role declined since then, Zionism has still played a part in Israeli politics, though there are different perceptions thereof. Zionism is essentially the preservation of the Jewish people, their faith, and their homeland which they belong to.
