A movement to reestablish the Jewish state in the British Mandate of Palestine. The movement was started in the late 1800's by Theodor Herzl, and in 1948 the modern state of Israel was established on a piece of land granted by the United Nations with the support of Great Britain, the nation which had formerly controlled the land.
It should be noted that not all Jews are Zionists, in fact, the most religious Jews (chareidi) are very anti-Zionist, for theological reasons. They believe, as Jewish Law teaches (Kesubos 111a) that the Jews must not return en masse to the Holy Land until the Messiah arrives. See last few links for more information.
