If the question was intended to be: What date was the Modern State of Israel founded? -- The answer would be David Ben-Gurion among a number of other prominent Zionists on May 14, 1948.
However, the question is "When was Israel found", i.e. "On what date were the lands where Israel now stands discovered?" -- The answer to this is that we have evidence that the first Homo sapiens crossed into Haifa roughly 100,000 years ago, but, of course, we have no idea the identity of the person who did this.
I believe because of the Crusader states the Spanish men tried to find a faster way to India which was part of the Holy Land so they sailed west which founded the New World.
What country are Arabs and Jews fighting for?
Answer 1
After WWII and the Holocaust, peace treaties established that a Jewish nation would be established on the land the Jews had lived on for millenia (this is year 5763 on the Jewish calendar), so that there would be a Jewish homeland and the Jews would be able to go back "home" if God forbid another Holocaust occurred with attempts to "exterminate" the world's Jews. Arabs had also lived in areas of what is now Israel, and the Arabs that owned and lived on property within the borders were invited to become full citizens of the new, tiny, country. However, egged on by large surrounding Arab nations that didn't like the idea of a Jewish State, these landowners decided that they did not want to be part of a Jewish state, even though they would be perfectly free to practice their own religion and would be full citizens, and fled Israel. However, the same surrounding Arab countries did not actually wish to take these people into their own large countries - they knew that the only way to keep the displaced groups angry and upset would be for them not to have a homeland themselves. So these groups of former landowners, as well as poor Arabs who had not owned land to begin with, who fled the new country of Israel on their own accord, were not let into the large, surrounding Arab nations, and they had to be mad at someone - so they chose Israel. They did end up in a crappy position, but not because they couldn't have stayed and prospered in the new country of Israel, though most of the Arab population in the contentious areas has now been brainwashed to believe that it was Israel's fault that they left their land. Possibly ideally, a two-state solution would give the "Palestinians" their own country side by side with Israel, which has been proposed time and time again, but the Palestinians seem not to want "peace" - they want no Israel. When borders can be proposed that do not leave Israel with an inability to defend its own borders that it won in wars in which it was attacked, I believe that a two-state solution would be the best option to provide the Palestinians with a country to call their own, next to Israel, but they have to accept this, which would require them accepting Israel as a legitimate nation.

Jews and Arabs are fighting for the territory that once belonged to the British Mandate of Palestine. The Jews call this territory Israel and have established a country there.

Israel is a representative democracy, with a stable government. Members of the national legislature
(the Knesset, Israel's parliament) are chosen by general election in which all citizens of every
religion and gender have a vote. The leader of the party that wins the most seats in parliament
becomes the nation's Prime Minister. The mechanism and structure are the same as in Canada,
the UK, and many other representative democracies.
Did Israel exist in the time of Jesus?
No. Israel ceased to exist as a nation after its destruction by the Assyrians in 722 BCE. The territory formerly occupied by the Israelites became the Assyrian province of Samaria, although by the time of Jesus it was under Roman control. A new nation of Israel was formed in 1949, covering much of the former lands of Israel, and also the former lands of Judah and some other territory.
All of the parties involved have made strong and deliberate actions to avoid a peaceful settlement. Israelis are continuing to build settlements in the West Bank and Blockade Gaza, preventing the Palestinians from properly developing a State of their own. Palestinian organizations like Hamas refuse to recognize Israel as a Jewish State and only recognize "partial truces" with it. American benefactors support Israel without encouraging it to abandon the practice of the settlements. Arab Nations do not try to engage Israel openly and honestly and believe in holding the Palestinians in refugee camps while they continue to demand that Israel host all of the refugees, something which they know is a non-starter with Israel.
The most important thing that any one person can do to improve the situation is to argue for a liberal, peaceful solution over gaining everything for his chosen side. Neither side has a monopoly on justice. What counts the most on an individual level is that you argue against fervent supporters from your side. It means that if you are Pro-Israel, argue for an Israel that represents the highest aspirations of Jewish Ethics and character, that is willing to withdraw the settlements and grant true independence to a Palestinian State. It means that if you are Pro-Palestine, argue against allowing children to read textbooks with Anti-Semitic materials, argue for the inexorable presence of the Jewish State of Israel, and support a road to peace that is not paved with qassam rockets and the deaths of schoolchildren (both Palestinian and Israeli).

In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods, and walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made. (II Kings 17:5-8)
"...the Lord removed Israel out of His sight, as He had said by all His servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.

(II Kings 17:23-24)
