Best Answer

Jews have lived all over the world including in what is now the modern state of Israel.

Answer:

1) Around 2600 years ago, the Assyrians forcibly exiled the Ten Israelite tribes to points unknown.

2) Around 2500 years ago, the Babylonians destroyed the First Temple and forcibly exiled the remainder of Israel's population to Babylonia.

While the Jews were permitted to return to Israel (Judea) seventy years later, and thousands did so (and rebuilt the Temple), most of them remained in Babylonia, while others began to settle in North Africa, southern Europe, the Crimea, throughout the Near East and elsewhere.

3) In 68 CE, the Romans destroyed the Second Temple. 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 conditions in Judea 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.

Those Jews who left Judea went to southern Europe, North Africa, Arabia, the Near East, and (slowly) further afield (especially throughout Europe).

Why are Palestinians and Jews fight?

2000 years ago, after the death of Jesus, the Romans kicked the Jews out of Israel/Palestine. This period of time is called the Diaspora. In 1948, after WWII, the United Nations said the Jews could return to Palestine/Israel and have their own nation. The problem is in 2000 years, a lot of Palestine people moved into the land formerly occupied by the Jews/Israelis. So, you have a group of people, the Jews, who want to return to the land they taken away from by force 2000 years ago. You also have a group of people, the Palestine, who have lived on the land for the last 2000 years. Considering how much land was taken away from one group or another in the past, it is very difficult to give back all the land on the planet to it's original inhabitants. For example. a great deal of land in the USA was taken away from the Native Americans. It's obvious that the Native Americans are not going to get most of the land that taken away from them by force.
