Depends on to what extent you value continuity of the idea. The idea of returning to Palestine without the precursor of the arrival of the Messiah is a relatively young idea, dating back only to the 19th century. This leaves a pretty big gap between the 613 revolt against Heraclitus to Theodore Herzl. I suppose one could count “next year in Jerusalem” as part of the aspiration. I’m not an expert and could be wrong (or maybe probably I am) but it seems a stretch to me.
