The Jews view the region of modern Israel and Palestine as their ancient homeland. They were exiled from it several times in history. However, the country of Israel was not and cannot be exiled because it is a place. When king Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon destroyed Solomon's Temple (The First Temple) in 586 BCE, the Jews were exiled to Babylon but were allowed to return by Cyrus the Great in 537 BCE. In the aftermath of the Bar Kokhba revolt in 132--136 AD, the Romans destroyed the Second Temple and again many Jews were exiled or left the country on their own. This later exile is the one that spread Jews around the known world and from which they are returning when they return to the modern state of Israel today.
Israel was the northern Hebrew kingdom and was destroyed by the Assyrians in 722 BCE and many of its people sent into permanent exile, where they assimilated into the various local cultures.
Judah, the southern kingdom, was defeated and many of its people sent into exile in 586 BCE. Historians have verified these dates against extra-biblical sources.
The Israelites were exiled in Egypt 3500 years ago, in (or by) Assyria around 2600 years ago, and in Babylonia around 2500 years ago (the Judeans). Tradition also speaks of a Greek exile (when the Seleucids ruled Judea, 2200 years ago), and the exile which was brought about by the Roman conquest, about 1950 years ago. See also:
