There have been Jews in Palestine for about 3000 years. There was probably never a time when there were no Jews there during that period, although the Babylonian exile 2500 years ago certainly involved the expulsion of large numbers and the Roman wars and the Crusades devastated the land. Since the Roman wars, most Jews have lived outside of Palestine, but many returned with the Islamic conquest, another wave returned when Saladin drove the Crusaders out of Jerusalem, and when Spain expelled its Jewish population in 1492, another wave arrived. In the late 19th century, Russian persecution created another wave of refugees, and this only increased in the 20th century with first the refugees from the Nazis and, after the creation of the modern nation of Israel and the collapse of the French colonial empire, the refugees from the Arab states (who ended up making up the majority of modern Israeli Jews).
