>>508078707You know its weird how many times slaughtering children shows up in jewish folklore and history.
God strikes Egypt with plagues and the final plague is slaughtering children. They return to their homeland and find it occupied lay siege to the city of Jericho and then put the entire city to the sword slaughtering all the men, women, and children. They rebel against the Romans and get their asses handed to them so they retreat to Massada. When the Romans build a ramp up to their fortification they kill all their women and children and themselves rather than fighting the Romans.
I'm sure its just a coincidence.
