It seems likely that many Jews did not return from the Babylonian Exile, voluntarily remaining behind, near the seat of the Persian government. Others had migrated to Egypt, where there was a large Jewish community in Alexandria. There was also a large Jewish community in Syria, as well as in Rome and Greece.

No one. Unlike the First Destruction, the Jews were never thrown out of Palestine (Judea) after the Second Destruction or later. Rather, they were expelled from the Jerusalem area only, and most of them (but not all) left the land gradually, as conditions got too harsh. They were still a majority of Palestine's population as late as the mid-4th century CE. See also:History of the Jews in IsraelDiaspora

However, Jews suffered other calamities in Palestine, such as the destruction of both Great Temples and the exile of significant portions of the Jewish population.

AnswerThe word gentile simply means 'foreigner' in Hebrew. As far as the Jews were concerned, there were only Jews and foreigners - even if the ancestors of the gentiles had arrived in Palestine before their own ancestors did. The gentiles who lived in much of Palestine in the first century CE were mainly the descendants of Canaanites, Philistines, Nabatean Arabs and some Greek and Roman immigrants.
