These happened to be the period when the Greeks & Romans took turns to invade Jerusalem.
Is it because they were fleeing persecution by the Greeks & Romans, and the Persians and Arabs were the ones who gave them refuge?
Jews were a diasporic, scattered pop @ the time due to widespread persecution. They were made slaves and third class citizens during the Roman empire and settled wherever they could. As for Persian and Arab nations giving them refuge, just remember these nations were worshipping other gods at this time. Islamism ony came into existence after the fall of the Roman Empire. Oredy you yourself just posted BC.
