There were Jews, mostly elite men who endorsed Roman rule. They had already endorsed Greek rule before the arrival of the Romans and had become Hellenised (had adopted Greek customs). This was resented by Jews who were more faithful to their religion and had already caused conflict among the Jews before the Romans. Many Jews resented Roman rule. Taxation was a main grievance.

There was the political movement of the Zealots, which during the Great Revolt or First Roman-Jewish War, advocated rebelling against the Romans and expelling them from the Judea by force. The sicarii was a splinter group of the Zealots who also wanted to expel the Romans.

Why were the Jews under roman rule allowed to worship freely?

By and large the Jews were allowed to worship freely. Several Roman emperors issued laws which guaranteed their freedom of worship. The persecutions of the Christians were not applied to the Jews. However, the Emperor Hadrian did persecute Judaism. He wanted to rebuild Jerusalem as a Roman city and built some Roman temples. This sparked the Bar Kokhba revolt which lasted for nearly four years (135-36). It was eventually defeated and it was very costly for the Jews. Some 500,000 Jews died and 50 towns and 985 villages were destroyed. This and the sale of many survivors as slaves caused a depopulation of Judea. Hadrian decided to try to to root out Judaism, which he saw as seditious. He banned theTorah law and the Hebrew calendar, and executed Judaic scholars. The Jews were barred form Jerusalem and Judea was renamed as Syria Paleastina to try to erase any memory of Judea or Ancient Israel. Jerusalem became a Roman city and was renamed Aelia Capitolina. The Jews were barred from this city. The Jewish religious centre shifted to theBabylonian Jewish community. After Hadrian, the measures taken in Judea were regained until the reign of Constantine. However, elsewhere in the empire the Jews enjoyed freedom of warship.

Why did the Jews resent the Romans?

The Jews resented Roman rule because it inhibited the liberties and freedom they would otherwise have had. Justice was cruel in those days and the Romans would take harsh measures to bring any area into conformity. Actual Roman law was relativelycivilized, as I understand it. But enforcing violations of the law was often very cruel and harsh and somewhat arbitrary.You and I would resent it very much if our society remained intact while a foreign-based layer of government was added on top. This was the situation with the Jews under Roman rule.
