How did modern Israel come into being?
The political movement to reestablish a Jewish state in Palestine, a province of the Ottoman Empire, began with the Zionist movement led by Theodor Herzl in 1897. Britain gained control of the Palestine Mandate following World War 1. In 1917 British Foreign Secretary Balfour issued the Balfour Declaration, calling for the establishment of a Jewish home in Palestine. Jewish immigration which began in 1882 continued although it was restricted by the British in the 1930s. Jewish immigration to Palestine resumed in large numbers after the Holocaust in 1945. In 1947, the British gave control of 78% of the Palestine Mandate to the Arab Hashemite tribe. The UN issued a partition plan for the remaining 22% to be divided into Jewish and Arab states. The Jews accepted the plan, but it was rejected by Arab leaders. Israel declared independence in 1948. It was attacked by Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq, but prevailed in 1949. Between 1948 - 1950, 800,000 to a million Jews were expelled or forced from their homes by Arab governments and anti-Jewish riots. Most of them were resettled in Israel.
Did many Jews immigrate to palestine in the 1930s to escape persecution?
European Jewish immigration to Palestine started in the 1800's, not in 1930. Prior to the establishment of the modern state of Israel, when the Palestinian territories were still under control by the British due to the mandate assigned to them by the League of Nations, Jewish immigration to the territory was strictly limited. That being said, many Jews did attempt to immigrate to the territories due to persecution in Europe.

Jewish Immigration to Palestine increased significantly, causing Arabs to worry about losing their land.
Why did so many European Jews leave their homes and move to Jerusalem in the 1920s and 1930s?
This question is generally incorrect. Most European Jews settled along the coast. A minority went to Jerusalem, but the increased Jewish migration to Jerusalem would come later. The reason for the immigration in general was the Mandate of Palestine allowed for the realization of a Jewish State for the first time in history and Jews across Europe wanted to participate in that.

What happened in the 1930s when Jews went to Israel?
Answer 1Following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire during the first Wold War, Palestine became a British Mandate. The British classified the 800,000 inhabitants of Palestine according to religion: 650,000 Muslims, 80,000 Christians and 60,000 Jews.During the following decades, Zionist organisations began to encourage Jewish migration to Palestine, and the purchase of farmland from the Palestinians.In 1930, the Shaw Commission of Inquiry recommended limitation on Jewish immigration and land purchase. The colonial secretary turned this into a government White Paper, but the Zionist leadership persuaded the British Prime minister to scrap the White Paper.After a Jewish revolt in 1936, the Peel Commission of Inquiry recommended the annexation of most of Palestine to Transjordan, with a small portion of the land designated as a future Jewish state. The Stern Gang and the Palmach did all they could to drive the Palestinians out of the country.From around 1939, the Yishuv undertook large-scale clandestine illegal immigration and land take-over in Palestine.Answer 2By the 1910s, the Zionists were well-organized and were able to effectively petition the British to declare His Majesty's intent to create a Jewish State in the southern Levant (where Israel is now). Jewish Settlers began to arrive in Mandatory Palestine and built an economy. The Zionists consistently reached out to Arabs during the Mandatory Period to create collective society. The Bedouins responded well, especially in the Galilee, as did the Druze. The Settled Arabs (who would become the Palestinians) did not wish to mix with the Zionists.The Settled Arabs were quite adamant about not giving the Yishuv (Jewish Settlements in Palestine) any land or space as soon as it became clear in the late 1920s that the Jews intended and would soon realize their own state apparatus. They attacked the Yishuv in Hebron in 1929, scalping and beating many Jewish inhabitants. They organized militias to attack other Jewish settlements, they petitioned the British government to prevent Jewish immigration (resulting in the White Papers of 1939 which banned Jewish immigration during the entire Holocaust when a place of refuge was most necessary), and consistently fought against Jewish Militias who were targeting the British colonizers instead of uniting to overthrow the British before trying to decide a resolution. The Yishuv retaliated and the fights between the Palestinians and the Yishuv continued throughout the 1930s and 1940s relatively sporadically.

The name of the Jewish terrorist group that sought the expulsion of the British from Palestine was?
There were two major Jewish Terrorist organizations that fought the British in Mandatory Palestine: the Irgun and the Lehi/Stern Gang. The Irgun was a group led by Menachem Begin the British Mandate of Palestine and Israel from the 1930s-1949 before being absorbed into the Israeli Defense Forces and changing its tactics to more acceptable forms of warfare. The Irgun operated similarly to the IRA, planting bombs in cars or in offices near to prime political targets. The other major Jewish organization was the Lehi or Stern Gang which operated in roughly the same time period and was responsible for political assassinations and fear incitement. The assassination of Swedish diplomat Bernadotte led to the Israeli Prime Minister Ben Gurion ordering the immediate disbanding of Lehi and the criminalization of its membership. The Irgun and Lehi were also notable for the Rape of Deir Yassin which was the bloodiest act in the Jewish-Arab Engagement of 1947-1949.
