What were Ze'ev Jabotinsky's ideas and what did he do?
Ze'ev Jabotinsky was considered to be a Right-Wing Zionist in the Pre-Israel Period. This means that he supported an aggressive and persistent settlement of European Jews in Ottoman and British Palestine. He personally assisted settlement and petitioned governments (especially the British government) to allow for the growth of a Jewish State in British Palestine. He is considered one of Israel's "Founding Fathers" and the spiritual father of the Israeli Right-Wing today.

Was the nation of Israel established by Great Britain?
NO. Israel was established by Zionist Jews, specifically Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and his associates. The British helped establish the British Mandate for Palestine, which was designed to create a Jewish National Homeland, but it was only after UNGA Resolution 181 (II) that this transformed officially into the legitimacy for an independent-state declaration. Britain's government officials specifically made it clear that they had no interest in actually resolving the Jewish-Arab issue in Mandatory Palestine.
Did Palestine help Jews in the Holocaust?
Zionist Jews in Palestine did volunteer to assist the Allies fighting in Europe. The most famous of these was Palestinian-born Hungarian Jew Hana Senesh, who was captured by the Nazis and tortured to death. However, the Arab Palestinians assisted the British in preventing Jews fleeing from Europe any refuge in the British Mandate of Palestine. Additionally, many Arab Palestinians were pro-Nazi during the period and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was actually forced out of Palestine due to his pro-Nazi activities.
How and why did the Zionists decide on Palestine?
The word Zionist can conjure up many emotions. Likewise the word Palestine. This question and answer will be built up over time and various links will be added to try and keep the answer as balanced as possible. The use of the name "Palestine" in the English Language only became more common after the Renaissance according to Gudrun Krämer. The name was not used by Muslims in Ottoman times - so for almost 400 years. Most of Christian Europe referred to the area as the Holy Land. It is thought etymologically to be a form of Philistine. Indeed, the Arabic word for Palestine is Philistine. The name Palestine was officially revived by the British after the fall of the Ottoman Empire and applied to the territory that was placed under British Mandate. Zion is a Hebrew word that means Jerusalem. The Zionist movement started in the 1800s with the aim of having a state for the Jewish people dispersed over 2000 years all over the globe in what became known as the diaspora. Jews were especially being persecuted in Eastern Europe. It seemed logical for them to have a state in their ancestral homeland of Israel. Initially, the Zionist movement encouraged immigration to Palestine to increase the Jewish population there. The movement gained momentum in the 1900s and for various reasons which are a completely different question, the British were mandated Palestine by the League of Nations. The name Palestine was officially revived by the British at this time. After WW2 and the major persecution and Genocide of the Jews, Israel unilaterally declared independence in 1948.
Who was disadvantaged by the Zionist movement?
The Arabs' rights in Mandatory Palestine were prejudiced by the Zionists who wanted to create a Jewish controlled state.
Who is a zionist?
A zionist is a member of the Jewish movement that arose in the late 19th century in response to growing anti-Semitism and sought to reestablish a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Modern Zionism is concerned with the support and development of the state of Israel.
