Zionism is certainly one of the causes of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. It is not the only cause of the conflict and is also not the most important cause of the conflict.

How did zionism set the stage for present day conflicts between Israelis and the palestinians?
Zionism is one of many contributing factors that led to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. The reason for this is that Zionism is the nationalistic philosophy that led to Israel's creation. Without Zionism, there would be no Israel and therefore the conflict would not have existed. However, without Arab Nationalism, universal Anti-Semitism, and inequality between Jews and Muslims in Arab countries, there would never have been a reason for conflict either.
What land is shared between Israel and Palestine?
The British Mandate of Palestine.
What changes did Zionism make to Israel?
The question as posed is nonsensical. Zionism is the movement responsible for the entire creation of Israel. The changes "due to Zionism" are completely inseparable from the changes that occurred naturally as Israel developed as a State.
Can Palestine defeat Israel?
It is highly unlikely that Palestine will prevail against Israel through strength of arms. Arab armies far larger and better equipped have not been able to achieve this. Palestine can certainly fight a guerrilla war or an intifada that will have an affect on Israeli resolve, but the best bet for a free and independent Palestine is to choose to accept that Israel is a necessary partner for peace. Israel is not going anywhere.
What religions are in conflict in Palestine?
It depends what you mean by "Palestine". If you are referring exclusively to the Palestinian Territories, there are abuses by Muslim Palestinians of Christian Palestinians and the defacing of their holy sites and monuments. Additionally, there is a conflict between Jewish Israeli Settlers and Israeli Soldiers and Palestinians (both Muslim and Christian). If you are using "Palestine" as a shorthand for "Israel and Palestine", then the religions in the conflict are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. However, those religions are not at conflict. The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is a ethnic/nationalist conflict where religions are used as ethnic identifiers (similar to the 1990s in Yugoslavia). It is not a theological conflict.
How did Zionism create conflict in the Middle East?
Zionism is certainly one of the causes of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. It is not the only cause of the conflict and is also not the most important cause of the conflict. Zionism is responsible for the existence of the State of Israel since Zionism was the Jewish Nationalist movement to establish a Jewish State in the Land of Israel. Without Israel, there would be no Arab-Israeli conflict. However, it is worth noting that while Zionism is a base cause of the Arab-Israeli conflict, numerous other far more lethal conflicts (like the Iran-Iraq War) have nothing to do with Israel.

What conflicts are caused by zionism in the middle east?
Zionism is one of numerous causes of the Arab-Israeli Conflict and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. Zionism is the philosophy that the Jewish people should have a nation-state just like the German people, Turkish people, Greek people, and so on. Without Zionism, there would be no State of Israel, and hence any conflicts associated with that state would not exist. However, the mere existence of the State of Israel does not cause conflict; the existence combined with its rejection by its neighbors for various reasons.
