I recently read a good piece on the Jewish Revolt (written by a Jewish research institute), which made a case against the Zelots for actually causing the death of more people then the Romans eventually did. For instance, prior to the siege of Jerusalem, a internal fanatical faction actually set fire to the city's stockpiles of preserved food to make sure everyone would have to fight the Romans. It was fight or starve. Well, a great many non-combatants(elderly, women, children) starved. In the end, the Jewish revolt seems to have been as much a civil war between rivelling factions as it was a war against an oppressing invader. Hopelessly divided, each man his own king, they stood no chance against the might of the Roman army brought to bare on them.
