Jews have lived in the land of Israel since around 2000 BC, maintaining a continuous presence for 4000 years. Many Jews never left the Levant, although they were often outnumbered by their non-Jewish neighbors. Those exiled from Judea lived in Europe and the Middle East for centuries until returning to their ancestral lands over the past 200 years. This return followed periods of persecution, including pogroms and the Holocaust, in which 6 million Jews were murdered in Europe. Additionally, the Jewish Nakba saw more than a million Jews expelled from Muslim Middle Eastern countries in the 20th century. | Jews have lived in the land of Israel since around 2000 BC, maintaining a continuous presence for 4000 years.
