The supposition of this question, namely that Jews did not like Cyrus the Great, is very wrong. The Book of Ezra/Nehemiah shows how happy the Jews were that Cyrus the Great had come to power and gave them the freedom to return to Judea and rebuild the Great Temple. Cyrus the Great is still highly regarded in the Jewish community for his positive stance towards the Jews of his empire.
