The Romans 'banished' them, and banned them from returning ever again...
After the Bar Kokhba revolt, Hadrian persecuted the Jews of Judea viciously, outlawed the practicing or teaching of Torah, and also killed a number of the greatest Torah-sages. Nonetheless, the Jews remained a majority of Judea's (Palestine's) population, well into the 4th century.
After the rebellion, the Romans banned all Jews from returning to Jerusalem.
The Romans forbid Jews to live in or even visit Jerusalem.
They were dispersed throughout the Empire to ensure that could not repeat their frequent uprisings.
According to Christian sources, Jews were thenceforth forbidden to enter Jerusalem.
The jews rebelled several times: the First Jewish-Roman War or Great Revolt (66-73), the Kitos War (115-117), Bar Kokhba's Revolt (132-135), the Jewish revolt against Constantius Gallus (351-352) and the Jewish revolt against Heraclius (614-628).

After the Romans sacked Jerusalem in 70 CE. they are reported to have sold many women and children into slavery. Again, after the Jewish revolt of 132-135, the Romans sold many defeated Jews as slaves.
The first Jewish Diaspora was the forcible exile to Babylon in 586 BCE. However, the famous second Jewish Diaspora happened under the Romans from 70 CE to 132 CE. Jewish Zealots had fought the Romans on these two occasions and the Romans had enough of it. The Romans realized that the Jews had a fundamental connection to the land, so separating them from it and from each other would make them more docile. As a result, the Romans evicted the majority of Jews from the province of Syria-Palaestina.
It is not clear that the Romans persecuted Jews more than Christians. Under some emperors, Christians were heavily persecuted, under others, Jews. During the great Jewish revolts that started in the years 68 and 132, Roman persecution of the Jews was intense. The emperor Hadrian, who put down the second revolt, probably killed half a million Jews in the process. Nero, on the other hand, seems to have really disliked Christians.
After the Second Jewish Revolt, also known as the Bar Kokhba Revolt (132-135 CE), the Romans decisively crushed the rebellion. The aftermath saw significant loss of life and destruction, leading to the expulsion of many Jews from Jerusalem and the surrounding areas. The Romans implemented strict measures to suppress Jewish identity, including renaming Judea to Palestina and banning Jews from entering Jerusalem, which marked a significant turning point in Jewish history and diaspora. The revolt's failure solidified Roman control and further marginalized Jewish communities in the region.
