If so, how so? I hope it doesn’t because love how the song sounds.

Tbh idk what Zionism even is. I just judge from news that a lot of them, maybe up to all of them, support Israel. Feel free to educate me.

    Lyrically, it is a tribute to Hill’s oldest son Zion David Marley, to whom she gave birth in 1997, during her relationship with Rohan Marley.

    i guess the question is why they chose to name their child zion, but the zion metaphor in rastafarianism in my limited understanding is an aspirational one of seeking a homeland after a forced exile, whereas israeli zionism is a settler-colonial philosophy similar to american manifest destiny or german lebensraum.
