Which lost tribe of Israel are Bahamians from?
There is no scientific evidence that the people of the Bahamas are in any way connected to the Tribes of Israel. If anything, the Lost Tribes of Israel would be assimilated into the Middle East. The Black Israelite Churches believe that this is the case regardless of this evidence. They also believe this in spite of the facts that many of the peoples they consider to be Israelite Tribes are either wholly or partially mixed with non-Blacks (such as Whites or Native-Americans). This should cause major theological problems since the Black Israelites' claim to be the true Israelites rests on the fact that they were moved by ships and sold in distant lands which did not occur for either Whites or Native-Americans.
According to the Black Israelite Churches, the following are the correlations between the Tribes:
Reuben - Seminoles
Simeon - Dominicans
Levi - Haitians
Judah - African-Americans
Issachar - Mexicans
Zebulun - Central Americans
Gad - North American Native Americans
Asher - Northern South Americans
Dan - ??? Not usually specified or confused with Manasseh
Naphtali - Argentinians and Chileans
Ephraim - Puerto Ricans
Manasseh - Cubans
Benjamin - West Indies
Although several of these tribes are overlapping (Aren't all Seminoles also North American Native Americans and aren't Cuba, Haiti and the Dominican Republic part of the West Indies?), none of them seems to deal explicitly with Bahamians. Since the allocation is entirely arbitrary and without grounding anyway and "Dan" has never been properly assigned, let's make "Dan" the Tribe for the Bahamians.
Why did the Jews leave Judea after the AD 132 revolt?
Some left, but many remained. There was a Jewish community of hundreds of thousands in Judea until three hundred years after the event which you named, and the Talmud provides names and locations of tens of their congregations and communities.
Those who did leave, did so because of the Roman and Christian persecutions. See also:

Does the population of Israel affect the country?
It affects because of you.
It also has the effect of making it a lot more crowded....
Seriously, Israel has one of the most diverse populations in the World.
You will find Jews who were expelled from Muslim countries, like Yemen,Egypt,Ethiopia and others, Christian Arabs who came from Lebanon, Muslim Arabs originally from Saudi Arabia and Syria, as well as Jews who are descended from survivors of the Holocaust in Europe and the expulsion from Spain.
Over 20% of the population is not Jewish and these are Caucasians,Bedouin,Druse and Samaritans, who are linked to both cultures, as are the Kareim.There are even Messianic Jews who believe in Jesus, but insist they are Jewish.
All these cultures mix and make up the population of Israeli citizens and this makes for an extremely wide range of foods, restaurants, cultural differences and political points of view.
To live in Israel happily, you have to be very tolerant and respect other cultures.

Why is Israel called the Jewish republic of Asia?
Answer 1
The term describing the state of Israel as the Jewish Republic of Asia is inaccurate. The state of Israel as we know it today is also not a republic. The form of its government is called a parliamentary democracy.
Answer 2
The term "Jewish Republic of Asia" is not a commonly used term to describe Israel. Contrary to the view of Answer 1, a parliamentary democracy is a type of representative republic, making the moniker, "Jewish Republic of Asia" factually correct even though it is rarely used (It is a republic that is founded for the Jewish people on the continent of Asia). More often, people describe Israel as the "Jewish State".
