Did Jewish people have a country before israel exist?
The Jewish people as a whole, both watered down and pure, where scatered primarily across the whole of the Muslim world, and the Americas, mostly North America. As a group of people they did not live in any single country. Furthermore, although small numbers of families lived there, for the most part Jews did not live in significant numbers in Africa or east asia. It was mostly the Muslim world, Europe, and the Americas. Although a significant number DID move to China, that community has dissapeared; it has been absorbed by the population completely. If there are any Jews left in China, highly likely they live in Hong Kong, also highly likely they are British. [[User:67.148.120.72|67.148.120.72]]stardingo747

Jerusalem certainly has holy sites of the three major monotheistic religions and adherents of those religions living within its walls, but depending on how "home" is defined, this may or may not qualify. The leadership of all Christian Churches and all Islamic Mosques in Jerusalem are governed by councils operating outside of Jerusalem, so the homes of those religions can be as far away as Rome, Addis Ababa, or Mecca. Based on that, only Judaism has its home and central apparatus in Jerusalem. Other religions have a presence and wonderful sites, but not a home, even if the people of those religions have made Jerusalem their home.
