am open to other interpretations but this is not the only source I've read that says that after 135AD the Romans only expelled/killed/enslaved the rebellious Jews, and refused to allow them to enter Jerusalem except once a year. They also instituted anti-Jewish laws, e.g., abolishing circumcision, reading the Torah, and eating unleavened bread during Passover CB, I think we are discussing only degrees of difference. I never said that all the Jews were deported, either in 70 CE or 135 CE, just that a sizable portion of the population was killed, deported or enslaved in 135 CE. Throwing the Jews out of Jerusalem and renaming the capital to Aelia Capitolina was a fairly drastic measure, esp. when combined with the laws against the Jewish religion, a religion which the Romans had never understood but had respected until then because it was indisputably ancient.
