    Most Jews call theirselves a “diaspora” because they are not only a “religion” but an ethnoreligious folk, too. When they refer to theirselves as the “Jewish diaspora” they are referring to the majority of their people scattered all over the world from their spiritually ancestral (non-nationalistic and non-Zionist) land in Palestine.

    Most viewed (and still view) Palestine as the Holy Land; the Almighty promised it to them after their exodus from misraim (Egypt). Eventually the Mashiah shall come by the Almighty’s orders and help them peacefully return to the Holy Land. This is why they call theirselves a “diaspora” (or “Galut” in Hebrew).

      That’s interesting, thanks. Then the phrase must have gotten a second meaning after the creation of Israel which Israel and zionists probably love to exploit to imply that Israel does belong to and thus represents all Jews.
