A:The Zealots were a small but influential sect of Judaism in the middle of the first century CE. They were instrumental in the actions that led up to the First Roman-Jewish War and encouraged the Idumeans to enter Jerusalem and help fight the Romans. However the Idumeans were soon sickened by the regime of terror being imposed by the Zealots and left the city.

The Zealots were a group of dangerous hotheads who ignored the advice of the Rabbis and fomented war against the Romans, leaving the Romans no choice but to crush the people and destroy the city of Jerusalem (Talmud, Gittin 56).

The Zealots didn't attack the Romans. The Romans were going to attack but all the Zealots killed themselves. Over 960 children, men and woman died. Now, that's a different story. They believe the Romans attacked, or were going to attack, because the Zealots would, in a way, pull pranks on the Romans. The Romans got tired of living over 1,000 feet below the Zealots because it also gave the Zealots a advantage at numerous things.Hoped this helped!:)
