people have been persecuting Jew for thousands of years. Jews didnt have a homeland until 1948 and they were forced to share it with muslims.
The Jewish historian Josephus, who lived in the first century AD and was an eyewitness to many gruesome crucifixions, characterized this form of execution as “the most wretched of deaths.” Its origin cannot be determined with certainty, but ancient records tell that a primitive form of impaling was practiced by the Assyrians, Phoenicians, and Persians around 1000 .C. By the first century BC, the Roman Empire adopted this method as their own and refined it to a diabolical art.
Rome applied crucifixion extensively. Starting with the suppression of the Spartacus revolt in 71 BC, Rome lined the famous Appian Road stretching from Capua to Rome with 6,000 crucified rebels. In AD 7, a minor revolt in Judea was brutally squelched, resulting in the crucifixion of 2,000 Jews in Jerusalem. During the siege of Jerusalem by Titus in AD 70, 500 Jews were crucified each day for several months. In times of war, crosses were haphazardly constructed, and the victims were nailed to them in every imaginable position.
However, in Judaea, the campaign against the Jews continued under Vespasian’s son, Titus. In 70 AD, the Romans destroyed the temple in Jerusalem and looted its sacred contents. With the revolt over for good, huge numbers of Jews left Judaea to make a home elsewhere.
There were at least two expulsions of Jews from Rome before the reign of the Roman emperor Claudius. In 139 BC, the Jews were expelled after being accused of missionary efforts. Then, in AD 19, Tiberius once again expelled Jews from the city for similar reasons.
After the Romans burned the Second Temple in Jerusalem, many Jews lost their will to fight and surrendered. Thousands of Jews left Jerusalem and moved to other cities, such as Alexandria, Egypt. However, some Jews remained in Jerusalem.
