Not very sympathetic are they? I decided to look one up for you on askjeeves.com about the Jewish diaspora:

The Jewish diaspora (Hebrew: Tefutzah, "scattered", or Galut ????, "exile", Yiddish: tfutses), the presence of Jews outside of the Land of Israel, is a result of the expulsion of the Jewish people out of their land, migrations from there, and religious conversion to Judaism. The diaspora is commonly accepted to have begun with the 8th-6th century BC conquests of the ancient Jewish kingdoms, destruction of the First Temple, and expulsion of the enslaved Jewish population, and is also associated with the destruction of the Second Temple and aftermath of the Bar Kokhba revolt, during the Roman occupation of Judea in the 1st and 2nd Century AD.

Hope that helps. Good luck.
