There was a minimum of five million Jews in the Roman Empire. Most of them spoke only Greek and their scriptures were in Greek. That infrastructure became the Christian Church.
The entire Christian doctrine about Jews is based on the idea that almost all Roman Jews were in Israel, spoke Aramaic, and had their scriptures in Hebrew. Then, says the official doctrine, the Jews were driven out of Israel in the first century AD when the Temple was destroyed and have been wanderers ever since, waiting for the Return to the Holy Land of their Fathers.
Meanwhile back on earth a tenth of the Roman Jews were in Israel. They were not driven out. There was no Diaspora.
None of this bothers the psychopaths who make up most of the professional Christian clergy.
