Zionists constantly insist that all of the Jews just magically up and left and/or were expelled but that’s more projection than anything. Historically, it’s an outlier for an empire to conquer land and also remove the entire population and replace them with their own settlers.
Typically the land is conquered so that you can tax the population and have access to their resources and labor.
A land without people is virtually useless to an empire that is headquartered 1000 miles away where they already have their own civilization built up.
