The region used to be called Judea, and was the home of the Jews. Then the Romans conquered it; they wanted to sever the link between the Jews and the land, so they renamed it to 'palestina', after the ancient, sea-faring Philistines.

When the Romans conquered the area and Jews were forced to live under Roman rule, life grew progressively difficult. And when finally the Jews were exiled, they were scattered across the globe. Thus today, there are Jews in almost all countries, from Japan to Sweden. They all share the same religion, though, even though culturally there are of course many differences.

If this is referring to the Babylonian Captivity, the Babylonians deported the Judean aristocracy in order to provide benefits to Babylon that having more aristocrats would provide as well as making Judea much easier for the Babylonians to govern.

If this is referring to the Roman forcible deportation of Jews from Jerusalem, this was as a result to Jewish Zealot militant resistance to the Roman Empire's activities. In this retaliation, the Romans wanted to tread upon the people and crush any sense of national identity or power.

At the end of the First Temple era, King Yehoiakim, after having been obedient to Nevuchadnezzar (king of Babylonia), became insubordinate (2 Kings 24:1); and Nevuchadnezzar responded by conquering the land of Judah, destroying the First Temple and exiling the populace. The entire populace, not just part of it (though this exile happened in two waves).

After the Second Destruction, the Romans did not force the Jews out of Judea in a single expulsion. Rather, the Romans expelled them from Jerusalem only; and the rest of Judea lost its Jews slowly, over a period of centuries, as living there became too harsh. Even then, we have records of Jewish communities who lived in Judea (Palestine) during the entire period of the last two millenia. See:
