Answer:

During the diaspora, most Jews traveled to the west.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Jewish people originate from the Judea region, in what is now Israel. This people has historically been persecuted, first by the Egyptians, then by the different European nations in which they settled, and later, in the well-known event of the Holocaust by Nazi Germany.

Thus, given that the place of origin of the Jewish people is located in the Levant region, and that the majority of Jews today live in the United States, Argentina and Western Europe (out of 15 million Jews worldwide, only 7 million live in Israel), most of the Jews moved west during the diaspora.
