Terrorists in the Roman Empire? The Sicarii in First Century Judea

The Sicarii were a Jewish group who used various methods to rebel against Roman rule in the first century – in particular prior to the destruction of Jerusalem in the year 70. If around today, many would consider the tactics they used as terrorism.

Picture the scene, a hot sun scorched day in a major metropolitan city. Passers-by go about their daily business unaware of what is about to unfold. From the crowd emerges an individual wielding a knife. A fanatic with a mind riddled by a complex mixture of religious zealotry and political ideology. The knifeman begins a horrific spree of violence, killing some with his blade, and severely wounding others. The targets may have been specifically chosen or just been anonymous passers-by, seen as valid targets by what they represent rather than who they were. After the bloody rampage has been completed, the individual has a choice, either to martyr themselves at the hands of law enforcement or to attempt to escape back into the crowd.

The decision is of minimal importance, the task has already been completed. The attack, an impossible to ignore example of propaganda by deed.

The above scenario likely conjures up horrific images of recent knife attacks in London or Paris, of fanatical terrorists wielding blades in the name of religious and political ideology. However, the event I just described took place almost 2000 years ago, in first century Judea. After two millennia, political violence appears to have changed little.



Judea Prior to the Romans

For centuries prior to the Roman rule in Judea, the Jews of the eastern Mediterranean had already been living under a string of foreign rulers. When the Syrians took Israel from the Ptolemaic dynasty in 168 BCE they quickly introduced worship deities from the Hellenistic Greek pantheon. This led to a Jewish priest by the name of Mattathias, and his sons, including the legendary Judah the Maccabee, to slay a Syrian official amid those who supported him. This attack was apparently not intended merely to destroy an enemy, but to inspire others to rise up against the occupation. This led to the event known as the Maccabee Revolt (Law, 2007).

The result of the revolt led to the establishment of the Hasmonean dynasty, a political system that would eventually spell disaster for Israel. After multiple civil wars, one of the rulers of the Hasmoneans’ line appealed to Rome for help in 64 BCE. This led to Israel being incorporated into the Roman Empire as a vassal state. In order to maintain their state and position within Israeli society, many members of the priestly caste, known as Sadducees, collaborated with their Roman occupiers (Bloom, 2010).



Occupiers and Traitors

As is the rule of foreign occupations supported with collaborators from within the old nobility, a revolutionary movement began to form within Israeli society. A small movement proclaiming, “no masters above God”, violently rebelled against both the Roman occupiers and their associated collaborators (Bloom, 2010).

These events set the stage for one of the earliest recorded groups that would fit the profile for what we now call terrorists, the Sicarii.

The debate around the historical events concerning the Sicarii continues to this day, almost 2,000 years later. This is primarily due to the fact that almost all the information recorded on the group comes from a single writer, the Jewish general, turned roman defector, Josephus (Chaliand,2007).

According to the records laid out in his work, The Jewish War, Josephus states that the Sicarii began their activities in the mid-50s of the common era. As the latest advocate of the notion of Jewish sovereignty, their stated goals were the liberation of Israel and Judea from Roman rule (Josephus and Whiston, 1981).

The Sicarii derived their name from the distinctive type of dagger they used, similar in size and shape to the Roman word Sica. This is of particular importance from a historical context because we have no evidence that the group ever referred to themselves as Sicarii. The word is only mentioned in the works of Josephus and is of Latin origin, not Greek, Hebrew, or Aramaic, the languages the people of the region would have used. This may be viewed as a case of the defeated group being named by the victor, since over a century before the events of the Jewish war, the Latin word Sicarius has come to mean “assassin” in Roman law (Law, 2007).

The actions carried out by the Sicarii are disturbingly similar to modern groups who bear the moniker of terrorists. They assassinated prominent Jewish figures who were seen as Roman collaborators. These attacks often took place in public, allowing the attackers to blend back into the surrounding crowds after the attack had taken place. According to the writing of Josephus:

The first to have his throat cut by them (the Sicarii) was Jonathan the high priest, and after him, many were murdered every day. More terrible than the crimes themselves was the fear they aroused, every man hourly expecting death, as in war. (Josephus and Whiston, 1981)



This poignant statement creates a vision similar to acts of terrorism in the modern age, where the actual violence being committed is secondary to the level of fear and terror that such actions inspire. This is further compounded by other actions which the Sicarii participated in, such as the kidnapping and ransom of prominent Jewish figures for a multitude of reasons. These included raising funds for the cause, gaining the release of imprisoned compatriots, and further spreading the sense of fear and instability amongst the community. If the Sicarii could get to the most powerful and influential members of Jewish society, then no one was safe from their grasp (Laqueur and Hoffman, 2016).

The Sicarii also carried out campaigns of looting from pro-Roman Jewish gentry in the countryside surrounding Jerusalem. According to some historians, this was seen as an attempt to ferment uprising amongst the local Jewish population by demonstrating that the Roman authorities were powerless to maintain law and order (Bloom, 2010). It has also been suggested by some that the Sicarii were attempting to provoke a harsh crackdown on anti-roman Jewish movements by the Sadducees, further inspiring rebellion amongst the population. It is interesting to note that these are very similar to the types of tactics that Left-Wing revolutionary groups would apply to their campaigns, almost 2,000 years later (Hoffman, 1998).

During the period in the lead up to the Jewish revolt of 66CE, the Sicarii were led by Menahem ben Judah, until he was assassinated by rivals. According to Josephus this is attributed largely to his leadership that: “turned to savagery and....became unbearably tyrannical”. His death spelt the end of the Sicarii’s participation in the Jewish revolt that eventually led to the scattering of the Jewish population and the destruction of the second temple (Law, 2007).



Retreat and Last Stand

The Sicarii shifted the location to the mountain top fortress of Masada. During this period the group started raiding and pillaging the local countryside surrounding the fortress. Josephus describes one raid in particular, on the village of Engedi, where the Sicarii apparently “butchered’ seven hundred woman and children, “stripped the houses bare, seized the ripest of the crops, and brought the loot to Masada”. These actions are well in line with modern terrorist groups, who often blur the line between political activism and banditry when it is in support of an ideological cause.

This period eventually came to an end with the Roman siege of Masada. The Roman forces apparently used Jewish slave labor from the sacking of Jerusalem to build a wall around Masada. They prevented any supplies reaching the entrenched Sicarii and stopped any attempts at escape (Richmond, 1962).

The siege finally ended with the mass suicide of all inside the fortress of Masada, including the families and children of the Sicarii. This type of ritual suicide of a political faction, holed up in a fortress under siege has echoes in the modern era. Similarities can be seen between the siege of Masada and the incident in Waco, Texas, where a religious faction known as the Branch Davidians chose to end the siege by setting fire to their compound, killing everyone inside (Law, 2007).

As with all terrorist organizations, the history of the Sicarii is short and bloody. Their legacy is a mixed one, with some schools of thought regarding them as martyrs who died for their faith, whilst others see them as murderous fanatics intolerant of change. Whatever the case may be, one thing that stands out is the striking similarity between both the motivation and modus operandiof the Sicarii and terrorist groups that exist in the twenty-first century. After two thousand years, the ability to instill terror in the hearts of the masses through simple means, a knife and a man willing to use it, remains the same.

In the past you drew my attention to how the hand of Judas is behind the Sunni wahabbi madness but in my glorified pig state of ignorance , I denounced you for caring to accuse my then Jewish masters.

I owe you for teleguiding me to question why these satanists masquerading as God's children have always been accused of every sin.

Shall I go on? The list of Jewish chicanery and their anti-Gentile crimes is long and getting longer with every new day. And there really is no need to even report on their latest criminal orgies – their evil is such that it’s all so very predictable by now. But, there is always the drawing of the curtain they hide behind. There is always and forever the exposing of their grotesque center of operations and its psychotic masterplan: a Talmudic mindset hellbent on world domination and the violent subjugation and enslavement of Gentiles and their progeny. There is always the targeting of their very center of evil: Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv. My dart today is aimed right there between the eyes of Tel Aviv.


If there ever was a gentrified abattoir, Tel Aviv is it. If there ever was a gargantuan cauldron of hate bubbling and darkly bubbling over, it is Tel Aviv. It currently rates as the most immoral city that’s ever existed in the history of mankind. Sodom and Gomorrah and Hollywood and Babylon have nothing on this putrid city with decrepit black soul, where covert eugenics and overt terrorism against humanity itself are conceived and planned and initiated; where usury against downtrodden humanity is respected and aspired towards; where incurable kleptomania is encouraged and rewarded. Ah yes, that Tel Aviv that was build atop native cemeteries older than Abraham and the endless sad hearts of slaughtered Palestinians. That precious Tel Aviv that was constructed by force-of-arms atop a stolen hill of wild jasmine and orange groves; for centuries tilled and harvested by generational Palestinian hands – burned to the ground by terrorist Jews then rebuilt as their supremacist watchtower by homeless, fingerless Palestinians forced into slave labor. Tel Aviv: modern sanctuary for Jewish pedophiles and embezzlers; safe haven for vicious hoaxers, serial murderers and their satanic mothers; Tel Aviv: that unwashed prophylactic for erectile-disfunctioning war criminals – that unholy den of warmongers and their blood-thirsty wives and rabbis. All that white-washing, pink-washing, black-washing, baby-washing, tech-washing, Tikkun olam-washing and all the other Jewish Persils they use to wash away the crimes of Tel Aviv, all of it can never bleach out the indelible stain of their four thousand year old hate and anti-Gentilism.

Anti-Gentilism: the longest and most enduring hate. Imported to your towns and cities today by the terrorist traders in Tel Aviv. Shoved down your throat by the American Jewish wedge media and DC swamp representatives frolicking and romping in rivers of shekels.

April 9, 1948: A combined force of Irgun and Stern Gangs committed a brutal massacre of 260 Arab residents of the village of Deir Yassin. Most of whom were women and children. The Israeli hordes even attacked the dead to satisfy their bestial tendencies. In April, 1954, during Holy Week, and on the eve of Easter, The Christian cemeteries in Haifa were invaded, crosses broken down and trampled under the feet of these miscreants, and the tombs desecrated. The Israeli military conquest, therefore was made against a defenseless people, who had been softened up by such earlier massacres as Deir Yasin (where 250 Arabs; men, women and children were massacred).

The Jew, Weizman, referred to the massacre as this "miraculous simplification of our task," and Ben Gurion said that "without Deir Yasin there would be no Israel." Americans are not told that ten percent of the Arabs killed by the Israelis in 1948 were Christian, and that ten percent of the Arab property confiscated belonged to Christians. Nor are they told that Israel's massacres and military actions forced 100,000 Christians to become refugees.

Accounts by Red Cross and United Nations observers who visited the scene said that the houses were first set on fire and the occupants were shot down as they came out to escape the flames. One pregnant woman had her baby cut out of her stomach with a knife. Reminiscent of the acts committed by their brother Jews in Russia during and after the Bolshevik (Jewish) takeover. The head of the International Red Cross delegation in Palestine, Jacques de Reynier, drove into the village and was met by a detachment of Irgun terrorists. In his report of the massacre the previous night, he wrote: "All of them were young, some even adolescents, men and women armed to the teeth: revolvers, machine-guns, hand-grenades, and knives, most of them still blood-stained. A beautiful young girl with criminal eyes showed me hers (knife) still dripping with blood, she displayed it like a trophy."

July 2, 1946: The King David Hotel in Jerusalem was bombed, killing 91 people.

Menachem Begin, who was later awarded the Nobel Prize for peace, is the same man who planned the destruction of the King David Hotel and the massacre of Deir Yassin. Ex prime minister, Shamir, was originally a member of the Jewish terrorist gang called Irgun, which was headed by none other than Menachem Begin. Shamir later moved over to the even more radical "Stern Gang," which committed many vicious atrocities.

Shamir himself has defended the various assassinations committed by the Irgun and Stern gangs on the grounds that "it was the only way we could operate, because we were so small. So it was more efficient and more moral to go for selected targets." The selected moral targets in those early days of the founding of the state of Israel included bombing of the King David Hotel and the massacre of Deir Yassin.

Thefollowing are just a few of the many massacres committed by Jewish-Zionist terrorists, notably by the Zionist Hagana, Irgun and Stern Gang groups.

Like many posters here, when confronted by taqiyya agents who rely on deflection to old testament scripts calling for genocide on the enemies and neighbours of Hebrew nation as decreed by Moses and other Jewish prophets, I used to dismiss such claims citing the fact that there exist no modern day Jewish extremist terrorist groups who cite the Torah in justifying their Zionist agenda.

How wrong I was back then and this was as a result of my false belief that as a Christian, my destiny and survival is tied and dyed with that of the Jews.

Nothing can be far from this as the so-called Judeo-christian alliance is the greatest fraud ever perpetuated on the church courtesy of Jewish subversion through their Masonic tools in the early 18th century.

Since this false alliance was formed between Jews and luciferians masquerading as Christians, the church has lost its original reformist path to one which slaves and worships the Jew.

The reason I am making this thread is to provide facts on how Second Temple Jews up till present day luciferian Jews aka Talmudic Judaism are and still remain the number one hate spewing and terror ideology focused on the destruction of the church and annahilation of Christianity.

I will be posting the history of Jewish Terrorism and how it is interwined with both Zionist ambitions and the obsession to destroy and genocide Christiandom .

Congo Judases aka Igbos

Although descended from one of the long lost Hebrew nation, the Igbo now claims to be Jewish.

Their ignorance is amplified by not knowing the difference between the ancient Hebrew and current Jews of today.

It is believed the Igbo descended from a part of the Hebrew nation that refused to leave Egypt after the Hebrew expulsion by Pharaoh Ramsey.

They currently inhabit parts of SE Nigeria aftér settling there from northern Nigeria when they and the black Pharaohs aka Awusa Kings were finally expelled from Egypt some 500yrs after the great Hebrew migration.

The Igbos came as servants, slaves and advisers to the black Pharaohs and later forced to leave northern Nigeria years later due to their trickery and cunning and refusal to adopt Islam that was sweeping northern Nigeria.

Although not recognized as part of the Judean branch aka tribe of Judah, these larpers keep claiming that they remain Jewish.

Ironically , the Marrano Jewish slave ventures into West Africa did not see any reason why they should not enslave and sell off the igbo Hebrew citing Leviticus injunctions on slavery that the Igbo no longer enjoyed protection under Judaism to be sold and enslaved.


Notable Congo Jews: Rabbi Nnamdi Kanustein.

Ethiopian Beta Jews

A tribe in Abyssinia that converted to Judaism during the reign of King Solomon.

These particular Jews are hated by Talmudic Jews since they only subscribe to the Torah or wriiten laws handed down by Moses unlike the Talmudic Jews who reject the Torah and embrace the ramblings of Jewish scribes and Rabbis as contained in the Oral Traditions or laws.


These Beta Jews embraced communism and Marxism and led an Israeli and Soviet backed coup to oust and murder the longest and last Christian monarch - Emperor Hailey Selassie.

After getting into power they plunged Ethiopia into a Marxist hell hole by iochestrating a man made famine , a prolonged civil war and brutal clampdown on civil liberties and also the Ethiopian church.

They will later be evacuated en masse by the Israeli state when the communist Regine was about to collapse in an operation dubbed "operation Solomon".

The Beta Jews are heavily discriminated by both the Israeli state and religious order and have been forced to undergo mass sterilization and denied basic rights as citizens of that nation.

Notable Beta Jews: Tedros Adhanom , formerly of the Ethiopian Marxist party and current stooge heading the WHO for World Jewry.

GerogeI:
Do not bother reading, everything up there is a conjectured fiction.
That's why the author has no source!

For example, the Sephardi Jews actually settled over western europe and North Africa, not particularly Amsterdam which is Norther Europe. No need reading the crap further as it's not worth the time.

Aba Judas cool down and read Wella.

Ashkenazi Jews
These particular Jewish tribe has a dodgy history. They settled mainly in Germany and northern Italy in the middle ages after migrating from Khazaria . Originally a lawless people who practised satanism and laid claim to the seed of Cain, they were forced to convert to any three of the Abrahamic faiths after a Viking Russian King conquest of their lands. Refusing both Christianity and Islam due to the fact that they didn't want to be subdued by both the Russian Christians to the north, Rome to the west and the Ottomans to their south, they chose Talmudic Satanic Judaism.

The Ashkenazi have been accused of supporting Muslim conquests and invasions of Europe, poisoning of Wells, and blood ritual sacrifice on young Christian children.

These Jews were at the forefront of Jewish communist wave that ushered in red terror across Europe.

Notable figures: the Rothschild family, Leon Bromstein aka Leon Trotsky, Bela Khun, Rosa Luxembourg, Schiff banking dynasty , Karl Marx

2. Sephardi Jews

Sephardic or Hispanic Jews share a common history with the Marrano Jews as they appeared in the Iberian pennisula at the same time but unlike the Marranos , they refused to convert to Christianity and left Spain and settled in Amsertadam.

These Jews will later setup major trading and banking houses in Amsterdam and participated in the Atlantic slave trade as well alongside the opium trade into China. Dutch Surinam , a brutal jewish run plantation is credited solely to these Amsterdam Jews. These Amsterdam Jews will later spread and settle into England after sponsoring Oliver Cromwell and his Puritans to dispose and kill their king, Charles I and from there lift the over 600yr ban placed on Jews from entering the British Isles.

The Royal Dutch Company as well as the Royal Niger Company (Incorporated in England) and operating out of the British port cities of Bristol and Liverpool will later form the main trading and slaving expidetion .

The Royal Niger will later become Nigeria and Royal Dutch Company will transform to Royal Dutch Shell to siphon oil from Nigeria.

1. Marrano Jews

These Jews are considered by world Jewry as the prime Jews. The Marrano Jews trace their origins to the Iberian peninsula and claim they settled there long before the destruction of the second Temple.
The name 'marrano" translates to pig in both Spanish and portogese and was used by both Spanish, Portogese christians as well as practicing Jews to describe those Jews who converted to Christianity but still practiced Judaism secretly. Their conversion was on the heels of the Gaul liberation of Spain from Muslim occupation . Both Muslims and Jews were presented with the option of converting to Christianity or leaving Spain altogether. Some Jews refused and headed to Amsterdam the only European city that still allowed Jews within it's walls.

Jews consider the Marrano Jews as the number 1 Jewish tribe because they continued secretly practising Judaism while claiming to be converts . The Jews were expelled alongside the Muslim Moor population because they not only connived with the Muslim Invaders to take Spain but also held powerful positions during the 500ys of Muslim occupation and were heavily involved in the enslavement of European Christians that ended being sold to Arab Muslim harems in the ottoman and Persian empires. These same Marrano Jews started the Atlantic slave trade from a small Portogese Port City, Marfa which they later named a small cameronian port of call after and the Bight of present day Guinea after. The Bight of Marfa will later become bastardised by the African tongue as Biafra. The Marrano Jews owned virtually all the plantations in the Americas as well as auction houses there.

A Marrano Jew who claimed to have converted to Christianity and later became a high ranking priest (can't recall his name now) is credited to have began the Spanish Inquisition which was formed to ascertain if Muslim and Jew converts had truly converted to Islam. This particular Priest was only interested in persecuting real Jewish converts to Christianity .After series of torture to which the Jew convert refused to renounce Christ , the Marrano priest will pin "witchcraft" on the Jew convert. In short , the Spanish Inquisition that
was began by a crypto Jew was used by same Jews to apply Talmudic injunctions and death sentences on Jews who truly converted to Christianity.
