In ancient times there were two kingdoms of jews, judah and israel. After the assyrian conquest they were banished from there to babylon.
In modern times, after first world war, the regions of palestine and transjordan were taken away from ottomans and given to Britain as protectorates by the league of nations. At that time, though there is no accurate estimate, but the population of christians and jews were the same, that is, roughly about 80,000 each. While muslim arabs were in majority there.
In 1914, before the start of first world war, Britain passed the 'Balfour declaration' by virtue of which they promised the jewish diaspora a state of their own, in order to gain their support in the war.
After the war Britain fulfilled its promise and all the jews from eastern europe and all over the world migrated to their promised land, and hence they outnumber christians there.

In 1948 it was established as a homeland for Jewish people. My husband is Israeli and became a Christian in Israel because of the understanding of what happened there. I know several Israelis who are Christians. They often call themselves Messianic Jews or sometimes completed Jews because they are Jewish but have accepted Jesus as the Messiah.
At the same time my husband said that most Jews in Israel didn't really understand what a Christian was. He said some of them thought it had something to do with Nazis. Unfortunitely a lot of people who call themselves Christians have treated the Jews badly in the name of Christ. Blasphamy really. So I can understand why they have negitive feeling toward Christians.

Israel is a Jewish country. Jesus was a Jew also.
