The Jewish tradition holds that, in the end of days, the Messiah will restore Jewish sovereignty in Jerusalem and the traditional Land of Israel, restoring worship to the Temple Mount and rebuilding the Temple, Judging all the earth. Starting with the disappointment caused by a series of failed claimants to the title of Messiah 2000 years ago (Simon Bar Kochba's revolt that was crushed in the year 135 was the last straw), the rabbinic tradition downplayed the messianic elements of Judaism, but in the Hassidic world, these elements have become central. As a result, many (not all) Hassidic Jews hold that re-establishing Jewish dominion in Israel before the Messiah comes verges on being an improper usurpation of the role of the Messiah.
On the other side of this are Orthodox Jews in the settler movement hold that establishing Jewish dominion can help bring the Messiah.

Is it true that the ultra-conservative form of Judaism is Zionism?
No. Zionism is the belief that the Jews should have political self-sovereignty and is the patriotic sentiment behind the Establishment of the State of Israel. This is a political belief, not a religious one. In fact, the Ultra-Orthodox were among the last group to accept the validity of the Jewish State and there are still groups of Ultra-Orthodox, such as Neturei Karta, who oppose the State of Israel on religious grounds.
