Who is going to argue the point that the nation of Israel of today is the fulfillment of this prophecy?

I would (no surpise), and lots of non-futurists would argue that modern-day Israel is a fulfillment of any specific biblical prophecy.

It takes more work that just pointing a text yanked from the Bible and then pointing at modern Israel to convince many Christians that B fulfills A.

Saying it is so does not make it so.

Sorry, but I'm not sure if you're agreeing or disagreeing with me. Just to be clear, my point was that modern day Israel is NOT the fulfillment of the prophecy from Zephaniah that the article stated. (is your first sentence missing a "not"?)
