	The Great Revolt
		The Jews' Great Revolt against Rome in 66 C.E. led to one of the greatest catastrophes in Jewish life and, in retrospect, might well have been a terrible mistake.
		In later generations, the rabbis hyperbolically declared that the revolt's failure, and the Temple's destruction, was due not to Roman military superiority but to causeless hatred (sinat khinam) among the Jews (Yoma 9b).
		Indeed, the Great Revolt of 66-70, followed some sixty years later by the Bar Kokhba revolt, were the greatest calamities in Jewish history prior to the Holocaust.

	Great Uprising - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Great Uprising, Great Revolt, or Great Arab Revolt was a violent rebellion by Arabs in the British Mandate of Palestine which lasted from 1936 to 1939.
		The revolt was driven primarily by Arab hostility to Britain's tolerance of restricted Jewish immigration and land purchases which Arabs argued was leading them to becoming a minority in what they considered their territory and future nation-state.
		The mainstream Jewish military organization, the Haganah (Hebrew for "defense"), actively supported British efforts to quell the largely peasant revolt insurgency, with the insurgent bands, at their peak during the summer and fall of 1938, reaching 10,000 Arab fighters.

	Great Jewish Revolt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The Great Jewish Revolt (66–73 CE), sometimes called The first Jewish-Roman War, was the first of two major rebellions by the Jews of Judea against the Roman Empire (the second was Bar Kokhba's revolt in 132-135).
		The defeat of the Jewish revolts against the Roman Empire notably contributed to the numbers and geography of the Jewish Diaspora, as many Jews were scattered after losing their state or were sold to slavery throughout the empire.
		The revolt began in 66 in Caesarea, provoked by the desecration of local synagogue by the Hellenists, with which the Greek-speaking Roman garrison did not intrude.

		While Jewish communities throughout the Islamic world were often treated well by their Muslim rulers, depending on the regime in power, Jewish communities in Spain, North Africa, and the Middle East were at times subject to persecutions, expulsions, and forced conversion.
		Since the Jewish Enlightenment (see haskalah) of the 1700s and the subsequent emancipation of the Jewish populations of Europe and America in the 1800s, Jews have increasingly participated in, and become part of, secular society.
		The revolt was smashed by the Roman emperors Vespasian and Titus Flavius.

	First Jewish-Roman War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first Jewish-Roman War (66–73 CE), sometimes called the Great Jewish Revolt, was the first of three major rebellions by the Jews of Iudaea Province against the Roman Empire (the second was the Kitos War in 115-117, the third was Bar Kokhba's revolt in 132-135).
		The revolt began in 66 in Caesarea, provoked by the desecration of a local synagogue by Hellenists; the Greek-speaking Roman garrison did not intercede.
		In an act of defiance, the son of high priest Eliezar ben Hanania ceased prayers and sacrifices for the Roman Emperor at the Temple and subsequently led a successful attack on the Roman garrison stationed in Jerusalem.

	Josephus
		The historian known to posterity by the Latinized name Josephus was a member of Jerusalem's priestly aristocracy who, at age 30, was taken hostage in the great Jewish revolt against Rome [66-70 CE] and spent the rest of his life in Roman circles as a protégé of three emperors [Vespasian, Titus and Domitian].
		His constant need to explain his role in the unsuccessful Jewish uprising that climaxed with the destruction of the Jerusalem temple led him to publish four works [in Greek] that are our prime source for information about events that shaped the history of Jews of the second temple period.
		He was one of two sons of a Jewish priest who claimed descent from the Hasmonean family of priests who had won Jewish independence from the Greco-Syrian empire two centuries earlier.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Flavius Josephus
		He accompanied the emperor as far as Egypt, when the latter had handled over to his son the prosecution of the Jewish War, but then joined the retinue of Titus, and was an eyewitness of the destruction of the Holy City and her Temple.
		In his life, as in his writings, he pursued a policy midway between Jewish and pagan culture, for which he was accused by his Jewish countrymen of being unprincipled and hypocritical.
		In the middle of the nineteenth century the interest in the "Jewish Antiquities" was revived by a translation which the Society of St. Charles Borromeo induced Professor Konrad Martin, afterwards Bishop of Paderborn, to undertake in collaboration with Franz Kaulen (1st ed., Cologne, 1852-3; 2nd and 3rd ed.

		This Menahem was the son or the grandson of Judas the Galilean, who had led an anti-Roman revolt in 6 CE; two of his relatives had been crucified after a similar disturbance.
		This may have been a Jewish success, but it was clear that the Romans would return with a larger army, and many people left Jerusalem, leaving it in the hands of the radicals.
		The Romans had paused their attacks for some time, there was a civil war, and at the other end of the empire, the Batavians had revolted, and a new emperor, Julius Sabinus, had been proclaimed in Gaul.

	TCI Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		In the wake of the unsuccessful Second Jewish Revolt in 135 CE [AD] the name Palaestina was imposed on Judea in an attempt by the Romans to minimize Jewish identification with the land of Israel.
		In Jewish sources (such as the Torah, Talmud, Mishnah, rabbinic writings, poetry, folk songs and liturgy) the name of the land is “Israel,” the “Land of Israel,” the “Land of Zion,” or “Judea.” The term “Palestine” is not to be found.
		After the Romans crushed the Second Great Jewish Revolt (at least one more rebellion occurred almost a century later), the name Palaestina was imposed on Judea in an attempt by the Romans to minimize Jewish identification with the land of Israel.

	The Masada Myth: Heroes of the Jewish Great Revolt were not really heroes
		Masada was part of a much larger Jewish revolt against the Roman Empire between the years 66-73.
		That revolt ended in disaster and in bitter defeat for the Jews.
		Prior to the beginning of the revolt, Masada was taken over by force—probably by the Sicarii (headed by Manachem) in 66 A.D., (e.g., see Cotton and Preiss 1990).

	The Jewish Revolt: Caligula vs. the Jews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The Zealots were a group of Jewish radicals (nowadays, the apt term to describe them would probably be "terrorists").
		According to The World History of the Jewish People: The Herodian Period, "The memory of Caligula's decrees and the fear of a renewed threat of similar calamities henceforth cast a shadow on Judeo-Roman relations." (Avi-Yonah 139) It is quite clear that Caligula's act seems to have been unprecedented and was a grave strategic mistake.
		It seems only fair (from the Greeks' point of view) that "the Greeks invaded the Jewish quarter itself and, forcing their way into its synagogues, erected statue a statue of Caligula in every one of them." (Grant 123) This act, as aggressive as it sounds, was a logical one.

		Even if Bar Kochba did not exist a revolt would have still occurred maybe with a different date and a different leader, but a revolt was inescapable.
