How did the Jews overcome evil?

Jews have not overcome evil; they are constantly in the process of overcoming evil. Judaism teaches that every person has two urges: the Yetzer ha-Tov (יצר הטוב) -- the inclination towards good and the Yetzer ha-Ra (יצר הרע) -- the inclination towards evil. Neither can be completely abated, but by following the Halakha (הלכה) or religious Jewish law a person can help to strengthen the Yetzer ha-Tov and weaken the Yetzer ha-Ra.

Of course, like any population, there are also Jews who succumb to evil, may it be corruption, violence, intolerance, or criminal activity.
