Very comprehensive write up, but i think something a lot of answers miss out on is…well, who was there before the romans? The romans called the area Judaea…land of the Jews. Before the Romans the Seleucid Empire had to deal with several uprisings led by…the Jews (the maccabean revolt). Its not enirely accurate id say to say the jews just materialised in the region in the 1950s…
Just a quick correction here. Judaea is actually named after Judah, son of Jacob.
The word ‘Jew’ comes from the place name Judaea, not the other way around.
