Is this the most clear cut good and bad black and white conflict in history?
>Jews see some Pagans being Pagans
>This enrages and confuses the Jews
>They decide to slaughter hundreds of thousands of Greek civilians

>What the fuck
>Sends the Roman army to stop that shit
>OY VEY EMPEROR TRAJAN IS A FUCKEN ANTI-SEMOITE

I'm no anti-Semite or /pol/tard, but why the fuck the Romans put up with the Jews? They've killed larger populations.

They were a major population in the Eastern Mediterranean with numerous communities throughout the empire and there was concern that pointless provocation could lead to a proxy war with the Persians.
But I don't think you realize just how extensive the devastation was after the first Jewish Roman war. Judea had been savagely laid waste, sending a huge amount of Roman investment down the drain. And yet you ask why didn't they just kill everyone lol??? Over a million Jews were killed, enslaved, or fled the empire to the east. The Romans had no word for economics, but you don't have to be an economist to realize just how bad that is.

they know who their masters are, read the illiad and the odesssey and youll realize that jewish genocide of pagans is supported by their own poets. Socrates and its supported by their philosophers. Julius and by its most famous leader

You mean trying to genocide the actual natives from their own lands? Seems awfully familiar.

Even Judea doesn't belong to the Jews but to the Canaanites
