Rome could've exterminated the Pharisees and prevented all of this.

The temple was destroyed because the Jews were still sacrificing animals in it, even though Jesus had died on the cross as the ultimate sacrifice. Therefore, God commanded the Romans to destroy the temple completely, reducing it to dust. There was no longer any need for temple sacrifices, since Jesus had fulfilled that role. This destruction occurred exactly one generation later, in 70 AD, just as Jesus—who was crucified around 30–33 AD— foretold. Why continue sacrificing animals in the temple when God sent His only Son to atone for all sins? His sacrifice made all others unnecessary and void.

Why did God want sacrifices in the first place?

>>509682355 (OP)
They lacked the will.

Jews back then have almost no relation to ones today, the Pharisees were the most subservient to Rome. Back then Jews could name Messiahs which they did frequently, they could also proselytize. Also they were almost entirely illiterate and were doing oral transmissions of their beliefs. Not even radical Muslims were that bad, they would name like 5 Messiahs at the same time, war against themselves, refuse to pay taxes, refuse to use money, and took slaves as they pleased. They did do circumcision to mark slaves, if someone bore the mark they considered them part of the tribe. Rabbinic Judaism happened after Christianity, the Jews that didn't want to do labor were forced into service of nobility and left to their communities. They were not allowed to work productive jobs so that they would be dependent on the labor or others and they were used as financial placeholders when a noble wanted to remove annoying peasant populations, it's really convenient to have a docile rootless cosmopolitan class that you can supplant anywhere when going through regime change. Rabbinic Jews are similar to the Amish, except they're not allowed to work.

All ancient religions practiced animal sacrifice even European pagan religions it's deeply rooted in instinct that blood must be offered to appease the gods. I don't know why.

Didn't the volunteer model of the Roman Army require incentives like capture and sale of prisoner/slaves? I'm sure they knew how to exterminate, but real-life considerations made it impossibe.

imagine thinking Romechuds gave a shit about this or that internecine jewish tribal chimp gang

Titus as instructed by Hadrian tried his best. getting them down to 200-300 units practically scarred them genetically for all eternity

Probably because killing animals = food
So the minds of ancient people worked that into their beliefs.

Isn't that exactly what they did in 70AD?
