I cite the following information from the Josephus Flavius' Jewish War (about the uprising of 66-71) and some other sources, in particular from Celsus. At the time of Yeshua in Jerusalem, every third man was a priest. The ancient Jews were obsessed with holiness and religious culture. And because of that, they constantly fought and cut off each other. Uniting only for the joint massacre of a common enemy-the Romans.
But even this common hatred of the "Roman invaders" did not always unite the Jews. To a large extent, that is why, when the Roman cohorts of Vespasian approached the rebellious city again, the Jews embraced each other with rapture. Citizens were given weapons to repel the Romans, but the mutual hatred of the city's three parties was stronger.
The oil was poured into the fire by the secrets (daggers). Often dressed in a woman's dress for disguise, these ruthless killers famously stabbed their victims even in crowded places.
The commanders of the insurgents, and among them Joseph himself, were not yet Flavius, tried to reason with the Jews, who were furious with the blood and weapons, but where were they ...
The fratricidal battle inside the city walls was so bloody and significant that the Roman commanders did not dare to storm-turned gray in the battles , they suspected a trap and a dirty trick. Legionnaires, came in cheerful bewilderment, laughed, broke a temporary camp, welded porridge, ate and rested.
Then the long and bloody siege of the risen Jerusalem began.
It ended in the seventies with the capture of the starving city, the destruction of the Temple, the captivity and the resettlement of the surviving townspeople. For 10-15 years, owls and jackals settled in the people abandoned by the people of Jerusalem. These Jews, expelled under the emperor Titus of Jerusalem, after the suppression of their uprising settled in the Greek policies of the Mediterranean.
Well, it was not for the Arabs to go to the desert. Shaw think this for the Jews?)) From them many learned Greeks learned and recorded stories about Jesus. And the Jews themselves, hardly having established a trade in the cities of the Mediterranean (stupid Romans drove them out of the desert to the then "Ibiza")) and having mastered Koine began to pursue their favorite business: writing books and arguing with each other.
After all, the first forty years after the death of Jesus, the people were mostly oral traditions about him. In Jerusalem, there was a small community of Judeo-Christians, but it was not large at first. Subsequently, the congregation dried up, yielding to the apostle Paul's teaching to the apostle's teachings (he himself did not see "live" himself).
Paradoxically and strangely, it was the forcible resettlement of Jews that contributed to the spread of Christianity around the world.

Perhaps Nietzsche was exactly what he meant when he branded Christianity as a sophisticated Jewish revenge on world culture and a brilliant Roman civilization.
