Arch Enemy Of Pro-Palestinians

Exciting news in the world of archaeology, with archaeologists in Rome uncovering the remains of a second arch of Titus.

Like the first arch, this second one is dedicated to Titus and his success in putting down the Great Revolt of the indigenous Palestinian population in the first century C.E.

Oh sorry, I meant the Jews.

It wasn’t enough for the Romans to enslave the Jews, plunder Judea, conquer Jerusalem, destroy the Temple and then erect a massive triumphal arch to commemorate those feats of war for millennia to come: They had to build a second, even larger monument to celebrate their victory.

Archaeologists in Rome have uncovered the remains of a second triumphal arch dedicated to the emperor Titus and his success in putting down the Great Revolt of the Jews in the first century C.E.

The building was nestled between the bleachers of the Circus Maximus, the sprawling arena where chariot races and other competitions were held. It is less than one kilometer away from the famous Arch of Titus on the Palatine hill, which famously depicts the menorah and other holy objects from the Temple being carried in a triumphal procession following the fall of Jerusalem to the Romans in 70 C.E.

It must really suck to be pro-palestinian – with history and facts so inconveniently getting in the way all the time.

    From the Roman perspective, these arches were necessary. From the accession of Augustus to the death of Commodus, none of the other subject peoples of the empire rebelled and the emperors needed to keep it that way.

  2. On the contrary! The Roman conquest used to be taken as the point in history when the Divine covenant with the Jews was broken; the title of “Chosen” was taken from them and given to the Christians; and the Jews were supposedly exiled to the last man, leaving the Land empty to be refilled by a new, “native” Christian population. This was the old anti-Zionist narrative that stayed in place until the mid-20th century (and still holds, according to the Eastern Orthodox Churches and some atavistic Roman Catholic elements). With the rise of the new Jihad, this narrative is too embarrassingly Christian, and the secular “anti-colonial” line has taken over.
