It was the Zealots
Why did the Romans punish the Christians and Jews and force them out of the Holy Land in 70 AD?
After an uprising that involved the entire Jewish population of Palestine from 66 to 70 CE, the Romans finally succeeded in taking Jerusalem. They demolished the city but did not drive the Jews out of Palestine. It appears that the Christians had already fled across the River Jordan before the Roman seige of Jerusalem began. During the First Jewish War of 66-73 CE, the diaspora Jews elsewhere in the empire were reluctant to support their Palestinian co-religionists. However, the diaspora Jews staged uprisings in 115-117 CE, in Cyrene (Libya), Egypt, Mesopotamia and Cyprus, resulting in substantial loss of life. This time, the Jews of Palestine and Syria did not participate. The Second Jewish War broke out in 132 CE and continued until 136 CE. This time the Romans had lost patience. They expelled the Jews from Jerusalem and the surrounding area of Judea, although they allowed some to move to Galilee and the Palestinian coast.
Why did the Jews dislike the Romans?
The Jewish people were extremely upset about having to pay taxes and live under a foreign government. As a result they launched repeated terror attacks against Roman soldiers and citizens. These are all well documented in Josephus. One of the main catalysts for the destruction of Jerusalem was a tax that was taken from the Jewish temple to pay for the Roman aqueduct being constructed for Jerusalem. The Jews thought this was theft and started rioting and attacking Roman soldiers and were briefly victorious over the Romans. This led Nero to dispatch would-be Emperor Titus and an army to Jerusalem who held the city in siege. Josephus himself, a Roman-Jewish citizen, was brought along to negotiate but the Jews who were in control were overconfident and they shot Josephus. Ultimately Titus and his army destroyed Jerusalem and the second temple.The Romans had no special hatred for the Jews - this is a fabrication of Jewish myth - they hated rebellion against Caesar. Judea was just another province under Roman control and in no way regarded as particularly special. What you should be asking is why, of the entire Roman empire from Britain to Egypt to Algeria who were not known for widescale rebellion against the Roman Empire, were the Jews so hateful of the Romans?
