Judaism in the Roman Empire
Wilson, the President of the USA, in 1918 called the destruction of Jerusalem (70 AD) and "the annihilation of the Jewish people by the Romans one of the greatest injustices in world history that must be righted". This judgment is wrong.
How did the destruction of Jerusalem come about? During the last period of the Roman Republic, i.e. during the mighty revolutionary wars, from which the military dictatorship of Augustus finally emerged, the Jews always knew how to find the right connection with astonishing agility. First they stood up for Pompey, then for Caesar, later for Cassitis and Brutus, later for the triumvirs of the year 43 and in the final decision initially for Antony and finally for Octavian Augustus. "Loyalty changed like the slogan.
Out of gratitude for Antipater, who had rescued him from a dangerous situation in Alexandria (47 BC), Julius Caesar restored the Jewish state and granted extensive privileges. Antipater became king: he was succeeded by his son Herod. In the year 6 AD, the emperor Augustus, at the Jews' own request, abolished the kingship and made Judea a Roman province; magnificent gifts from the imperial family adorned the temple in Jerusalem. Augustus' successor, the strict Emperor Tiberius, also showed the greatest patience towards the Jews.
But when have the Jews ever been satisfied? Despite all the benefits, despite all the privileges, their principled opposition to Rome grew. The payment of taxes was challenged as ungodly. The Galilean Judas called it a disgrace for the Jews to recognize any other Lord over them than the Lord of hosts, who only helps those who help themselves. And when the revolutionary was executed, he was considered a martyr; the dead man was more dangerous to the Romans than the living one. - And so the conflict accumulated.
In addition, as a result of Jewish arrogance, the hatred of the Jews by others grew. Under the emperors Augustus and Tiberius, peace was maintained
