What exactly are the roots of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict, two peoples claiming the same piece of land? In the New Testament Book of Matthew, we read how Yeshua Jesus warned his disciples of the coming destruction of the Jewish Temple, an event that took place when Titus surrounded Jerusalem to stop the Jewish rebellion and completely destroyed the Temple in 70 AD and the surrounding city, about 40 years after the event described in Matthew where the Messiah warned of this future destruction. The Roman Jewish historian Flavius Josephus reports that as many as 1.1 million were slaughtered by the invading Roman Legion. This led to a massive scattering of the Jewish people to the Diaspora or the dispersed settlement of Jews already living outside of the Land of Israel, which was now called Judaea by the Romans.
