The Jews were exiled from the Land of Israel by the Babylonians in 586 BCE. The Persian king Cyrus allowed them to return, but they were exiled again by the Romans in 70 CE. Jews returned to Israel in large numbers beginning at the turn of the 20th century and in even greater numbers since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. They emigrated because of persecution and strict laws against Jewish people.
