Jewish History of Rebellion and Persecution
- The Jewish people have a long history of rebelling against ruling powers, from Alexander's generals to the Romans.

- This diaspora scattered Jewish communities across the Roman Empire and eventually throughout Europe.
- Throughout history, Jews have often faced persecution, discrimination, and expulsion from various countries.
