You know it well. They were scattered all over the world. Mostly in Europe. But after Israel gov. was founed they migrated to Palestine.
That is a fallacy. There was a high degree of Jewish immigration to Palestine before the creation of Israel. The Jewish population of Palestine ballooned from 1920 to 1945, increasing by a percentage too ridiculous to even mention.
I don't fully agree with how Israel was created. I do believe that the desire of the Jews to have their homeland was perfectly justified, especially (but not solely) because of what they endured during World War II, I just don't think the thing was dealt with appropriately.
Those problems are academic today. Most of the people who live in Israel today weren't even alive then, and in any case most of the mistakes were made by the UN, not the Israelis themselves. Kicking the Jews out of Israel wouldn't just be unjust, it would create at least as many problems as it would solve. Finding a way to foster peaceful coexistence is the only way to move forward.
