Jerusalem was destroyed twice - and each time most of the Jews in Israel were deported:
- By the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BCE. The Jews were deported to Babylon for 70 years. Some of them moved to Europe and North Africa during that time.
- By the Romans under Titus in 70 CE. The Jews were deported to Rome and from there they scatted all over the globe.
