Judaism is popular in Israel because most Israelis are Jewish. The Jews were given the land of Israel by G-d as an inheritance and therefor it only prospers when Jews live there. Whenever Jews are chased out or exiled the land return to be desert-like; compare the land of Israel now to what it was like 100 years ago under foreign rule.
No. Long before they were ever taken/exiled to Babylon, the Hebrews/Jews/Israelites were a vibrant, flourishing nation in what is now Israel.
Jews were exiled from Judea and deported to Babylon in 586 B.C.E. so yes, Jews form a part of Ancient Mesopotamia. Jews remained in Mesopotamia until the mass exodus of Jews left for Israel in 1950-1952.
In the year 70 C.E. (Common Era), the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and its Holy Temple and exiled the Jews. However, although Jews were no longer permitted in Jerusalem, Jews lived throughout the country. In fact, there was never a period where there were NO Jews living somewhere in Israel.

The answer depends on how the question is read:Reading 1: At what time did only Jews and no other people live in Israel?Never. Jewish people have lived in Israel for thousands of years, but there has never been a time when ONLY Jewish people lived within it's borders.Reading 2: At what time did all Jews live exclusively in Israel?The Jewish People lived exclusively in Israel from their early development as a nation (in what is now Israel and the West Bank) up to 586 BCE when the Babylonians conquered the Kingdom of Judah and exiled the Jewish aristocracy to Babylon (and therefore made part of the Jewish community live outside of Israel). Never again did the Jews exclusively live in Israel.
