David Ben-Gurion among a number of other prominent Zionists helped found the Modern State of Israel.
The State of Israel came together as the result of Jewish Immigration to the British Mandate of Palestine, Zionist leadership, Jewish militias and political and financial support from the West (primarily Jewish philanthropists). The first group are called the Halutzim or the Pioneers and they took it upon themselves to modernize Israel by cultivating the land and using European technology to improve its output and productivity. The Zionist leadership included some like Theodor Herzl, who envisioned the state, to Eliezer ben Yehuda, who developed Modern Hebrew as a functional language, to David Ben Gurion who declared Israel's independence and sovereignty, among many others. There were numerous Jewish militias defending the Halutzim and attacking the British (and eventually the Arabs when conflict started) such as the Palmach, the Haganah, and the Irgun. Finally, without the monetary contributions from families like the Rothschilds, there would have been no way for the nascent pre-governmental and governmental organizations to acquire enough capital to maintain an internal infrastructure.

What day did the zionist attack Palestine?
1948 Zionist never attacked Palestine; there were always Zionistic Jews in Israel. Palestine is just a name the British made up for the area; Zionist obviously couldn't have attacked it in 1948. Israel declared independence and most of the Arab countries attacked it.
What is the official name of israel?
The official name in Hebrew is "Medinat Yisrael," the State of Israel in English. Medina in Hebrew is an older word previously referring to a national community and the Zionist Jews forming Israel felt that it would be a perfect double entendre to use it as the name of the country. It could be read literally as "The State of Israel" or it could be read as "The National Community of the People Israel". This would signal to other Jews the historic nature that Israel represented the culture and future of the Jewish people, unlike any other modern country.
What did Ahmadinejad say about Israel?
Ahmadinejad has said numerous things about Israel, none of them pleasant and many of them are considered incitements to violence. His most famous statement is "Israel will be wiped off the map." Most Iranian Government Officials and Iranian-sympathizers note that it is in the passive voice, and claim that it is a historical statement. Those who oppose the Iranian State say that this along with shouts of "Death to Israel", "Israel is the Little Satan", etc. and direct monetary and military arms support to Hezbollah and Hamas show a direct intent to be part of the "wiping Israel off the map". They further claim that the passive sentence structure is to obfuscate this intent. Ahmadinejad also does not usually refer to Israel by name, instead considering it the "Zionist entity", the "Zionist Occupier", the "Jewish Murderers", etc.

What do Zionists believe?
Answer 1Zionists believe that Israel is Jewish land, and they want the Jews to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem that was destroyed by the Romans in 70.A majority of Jews are Zionist, many Christians are Zionist, and 5% of Muslims are Zionist.Answer 2Zionism is the belief that the Jews should have political self-sovereignty and is the patriotic sentiment behind the Establishment of the State of Israel. A Zionist is anyone who supports that belief and therefore the Existence of Israel. There are numerous Zionists who are more than willing to negotiate with Palestinians and give up a portion of Mandatory Palestine for an Arab State.This member of a, Pentecostal, prayer based, Zionist group believes and has ALWAYS believed, since my earliest memories, that Jews, The Children of Abraham, are the rightful owners of the land that G_D promised and gave them.We believe that Israel, their G_d given home and Jerusalem, where G_d wrote His name, with His own finger, should be their capital.We believe that Jerusalem, the footstool of YHWH is the most holy place on Earth.
