But I can't grasp the history of these people. Makes no sense. This is from Quora. Their original homeland was a "Roman Province"? So they never had their own country? So if you don't own the joint, then you can get expelled. Which they did. But how come they never had their own country to begin with? So makes sense that they should have their own country, but the fact that they didn't historically before Israel seems odd. https://www.quora.com/Why-was-there-no-Jewish-state-country-before-Israel-Why-are-there-so-few-Jews There was also, at that time, no “Israel” as a country we know to day. There was the Roman Province of Judea. (Named JUDEA because it was where Jews lived as their ancestral homeland). When the Jews of Judea were expelled, the Romans renamed the province as Palestine (and also renamed Jerusalem as Aelia Capotilina) - the aim being that the land had been emptied of Jews. This is where the name Palestine comes from: the ETHNIC CLEANSING of the indigenous inhabitants who managed to return to their homeland c1900 years later.
