Best Answer

All nations of people have unique experiences and so all peoples are in some ways unique. The exile to Babylon certainly did not make the Jewish people especially unique, but the permission to return was probably unique in history. Only some of their contemporaries, also exiled by the Babylonians, were ever afforded this chance.

So the Return from the Babylonian Exile was the one great event in Jewish history that made them truly unique.

What made non-Jews not Jewish?

The question is backwards. Most of the world (99.7%) is not Jewish, so the question is not why most people are not Jews, but why a small percentage are. Judaism is a tribal religion that did not proselytize for much of its history. Therefore, most people who were not Jews never became Jews.
