The Ancient Guerrilla Fighters That Fought For Freedom In Roman Judea | Ancient Black Ops | Odyssey

The Levant has been a place where wars have been fought for thousands of years. The Babylonians, Assyrians, Hittites, Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, and others have fought in this area

I'm trying to figure out why they're saying they are terrorists when the romans are occupying their land

Israel was called Judea by the Romans until Emperor Hadrian named it Syria Palaestina.

This is where the term "Sicario" comes from Assasin for the cartels and the mafia! Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.

"but what have the romans ever done for us?" "i mean besides the roads, sanitation, education, public order,wine, and public works "

It is anger against occupation, not authority!

Caveat up front: This response does not advocate for Islamic-based terrorism nor does it advocate for Jewish-based extremism. Response to this documentary: As this documentary is supposed to represent a "Jewish" based resistance movement, you should use a future historical Jewish resistance group names that did exist, such as the Haganah, Irgun, and Lehi. The Haganah were known by the British occupation forces in Palestine, which occupied Palestine after pushing out the Ottomans with the help of the Arabs (i.e. Lawrence of Arabia, a British intel officer based in British occupied Egypt, helped to coordinate and inspire the Arabs to counter the Ottoman rule of the area), from 1917-Feb 1948. The Haganah were an unofficial militia of the Palestinian Jewish population, but the use of the word "Palestine" was loosely used, as the area also included Trans-Jordan (French occupied) which now is called Syria and Jordan, while "Palestine" is now Israel and Lebanon. Iraq and Iran were also incorporated with some of the Arab movement to oust the Ottomans, but that effort was more "up front" and included British forces (Army Air Force and ground forces), which would later become occupiers of the area and support British Petroleum and American oil Interests (Aramco) after World War II, would also settle in supporting the Shaw of Iran and Saudi Arabia (as the Americans learned how to do oil drilling in the Americas of the late 1800s), further entrenching American interests abroad in the Middle East. The Haganah existed and the British knew it, but it was a laze fair arrangement as the British and French forces didn't have the manpower to keep good security and the Haganah provided intelligence and a militia to "help". Later in the 1940's, as the British and French would be occupied dealing with the Germans, and then the French government capitulated with some French military siding with Germany, the British control became more tenuous, allowing some more extreme members of the Haganah to create the Irgun; apparently some of the Irgun went even more extreme and founded the Lehi. Within the Haganah, by 1941, there were three groups or "divisions" called the Hish, the Him, and the Palmach. The Hish and Him were considered "ok" by British occupation standards of conduct because they were "above ground" and were helping do some legitimate tasks supporting the British, while the Palmach was the "secret" third division, working in the "underground resistance" saving up weapons, cash, food, etc. so when the British finally pulled out in 1948, the Haganah had a reserve force ready to resist Arab attempts to land-grab...they would prove instrumental in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. The Americans and Russians both recognized Israel in the first United Nations Security Council meeting with the Russians thinking (wrongly) that by allowing their Jewish citizenry to flee to the new Israel, they'd be able to let go potential trouble makers; the British did the same thing. Between 1941 and 1948, the Irgun and Lehi were conducting hit-and-run strikes and conducting asymmetric warfare against the British. The British in kind would round up people and send them to the Seychelles in internment camps, similar to what they did to the Boers during the Boer War, incensing the Jewish resistance movements even more, so the Irgun and Lehi grew in numbers and conducted more extreme attacks. The final blow to the British (which helped to "incentivize" their withdrawal) was the bombing of the King David Hotel, the "HQ" of the British, located on the southern coast of the region on the Red Sea. Now that British military bodies were going back home in caskets and WWII was over, the British Parliament took notice and stared negotiating withdrawing from Palestine.

What differentiates freedom fighters from terrorists is what side you support, whose cause you deem just. And in the hands of revisionist history.. who won in the end.

I love this channel... Keep up guys.

The Judean People's Front. Not quite as good as the People's Front of Judea.

This video sheds light on a fascinating chapter of history, revealing the courage and resilience of the guerrilla fighters who resisted Roman rule in Israel. The storytelling and historical insights are truly engrossing, offering a deeper understanding of this pivotal period. Keep up the excellent work in uncovering these lesser-known aspects of ancient history!

I don't remember sirens being around then

The fact that these guys even entertained the thought of running off the Romans is laughable. Josephus knew the score.

I wasn't watching only listening. I got quite a shock when I heard Neil.

Respect

Nothing has changed in the last 6,000 years in the Levant.

I don't like seeing the Romans getting hurt.

Life of Brian......people's front of judea.

The real assassin's Creed ❤️

Terrorists......their land was invaded and they fought back how the hell does that make them terrorists.......Romans invaded the UK and took the land from Boudicca after her husband died and she fought back, does that make her a terrorist.......get a grip.
