2000 years ago, the Jews of Roman occupied Judea were divided as to how to respond to Rome. The Zealots advocated resistance, and they led several minor revolts and a few big ones. The first great revolt started in the year 68, and Zealot forces drove Rome out of Jerusalem and large parts of Judea. Rome had a whole empire to draw on, and two years later, they retook Jerusalem and destroyed the Temple. The Zealots primary opponents in the Jewish world were the Saducees, who were willing to do just about anything to accommodate Rome, so long as Rome let the sacrificial rituals of the Temple continue. The third major party was the Pharisees, who focused on personal piety and personal prayer, avoiding both compromise with Rome and violent resistance. Rome considered anyone who claimed to be the anointed one predicted in Jewish tradition to be dangerous enough to crucify because of the fear that the Zealots would proclaim him king and rally around him in revolt against Rome.
