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.
