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?

∙ 13y agoBecause the Jews were treated badly by the Romans.
I believe that your information is flawed. I suspect that far more people than the Jews resented Roman rule as evidenced by the Romain's need to maintain a great army and the fact that they enslaved people from many places.

∙ 11y agoAnimosity towards the Romans in the run up to the Great Revolt of 66-73 BC was due to the Romans not doing anything about the tensions between Greeks and Jews and Greek provocations, and the issue of taxation. The Romans' heavy handed handling of the revolt (the sacking and burning of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple) ensured that the Romans would be disliked forever.
