Why was the Jewish temple in jersualam destroied?

They, against the advice of the Torah Sages, instigated a guerrilla campaign against the Romans in an attempt to drive them from the Holy Land, since the Roman rule was insufferably oppressive. The worst crime in the Roman lexicon was revolt and insubordination; and they responded to the Zealots' provocations accordingly. They dealt with them with the utmost harshness because they (the Romans) feared that if they didn't do so, other conquered areas might revolt also. Because they couldn't always tell the Zealots apart from the non-combative people, the Romans simply destroyed the entire city including the Temple.
