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. During the Middle Ages, more Jews began to return to Israel, growing in the Nineteenth Century. By the end of the Nineteenth Century, Jews outnumbered Arab in Jerusalem itself.

Did Israel conquer Palestine or did Palestine conquer Israel?

It is a difficult question to answer. If we review ancient history, Israel was there 5 thousand years go till about year 0. In early 20th century Israeli was mainly populated by tribes of Arab nations and Israeli settlers, and in 1948 the UN declared a two countries solution in Israel for the Jewish and the Palestinians. Therefore, Israel declared independence - followed up by war declaration from most of the Arab nations around Israel and the Arab tribes living in Israel - later be called Palestinians (by the name of the place - Palestine), Israel won the war while conquering a few areas in Israel. Another reference can be made to the name "Philistines" - which is an ancient word from the bible describing invader tribes from around Israel. Philistines in biblical Hebrew means invaders. Often times, the Palestinians are identified with the Philistines since the Roman Name "Palestine" was derived from the word "Philistine".
