History UsefulNotes / JewishRevolts

''Literature/TheFourGospels'' were all written after the conclusion of the first revolt and reflect rejection of the sort of ideology which contributed to the rebellions breaking out (notably, Simon the Zealot is convinced to become an apostle of the more peaceable Jesus), as well as numerous retroactive "predictions" of the destruction of the Temple by Jesus, which aren't all that surprising in retrospect. There were rebellions in Judea even after the fall of Jerusalem, most notably the Simon bar Kochba revolt under Emperor UsefulNotes/{{Hadrian}}, who suppressed it, and renamed the city Aelia Capitolina, and forbade Jews from entering the city for 150 years, during which time [[MonumentOfHumiliationAndDefeat he attempted to rebuild the city as a pagan colony]].

These were a series of revolts by the Jews against UsefulNotes/TheRomanEmpire, which ended with the Jews uprooted from the province of Judea and scattered. This began the Diaspora era, in which the Jews were scattered across the globe. They were not to return to their ancient lands as a nation again[[note]] There were however ''individual'' Jews in the general area all throughout the next two thousand years. In fact, Jerusalem had a Jewish majority by the turn to the twentieth century. Hebron's Jewish community was only interrupted twice, both in the 20th century, due to the Arab Uprising and later due to the 1948 war[[/note]] until the founding of the State of UsefulNotes/{{Israel}}.

* Broadly parodied in ''Film/MontyPythonsLifeOfBrian'', though the Jewish revolt is mostly used as a metaphor for the increasingly-fractious British Left of the 1970s (a criticism that would grow [[HarsherInHindsight all too painful]] in [[UsefulNotes/MargaretThatcher the '80s]]).
