Excerpt from Can Jews Be Patriots?: An Historical StudySuch abuses, entailed by the new system of taxation, must have provoked even the most peaceable citizens. It is very likely, therefore, that the movement of Judas, of Galilee, the founder of the party of the zealots, against it in the days of taxing, sprang from these abuses, real and apprehended, rather than from his opposition to paying tribute at all, were it justly imposed and collected. Josephus does not say1 that he dissuaded the people from paying it at the first introduction of the census, so we are free to presume he did so only after this vicious system had been in Operation for some time.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
