If there's one chief feature of the teaching of Jesus, that of being a total pacifist and its fine with me, you live with it. For my analysis, the Jewish mindset started to finally change after that last failed Maccabean revolt that sought to expand up thru the Levant/Gaza (800 crucifixions) & those forced conversions they instituted. And you know what? Even that more than backfired in their faces, for one Nabotean chief's offsrping, a tribe who for the most part refused Maccabean conversion, later on becomes the king called Herod.

There's nothing divine about a people whos history is so full of getting their asses kicked so much, karma coming back to them so often especially in the form of Herod, that they should finally find the wisdom of pacifism, see pacifists arise in their midst, tolerance & the golden rule start to make sense. Only took them 500yrs or more, another total anihilation, but they finally caught on with a little help from the Hellenes.

I like to keep things simple, but about Jewish history, i do know quite a bit . Jesus was not the only pacifist starting to emerge in their stiff necked midsts, this philosophical bent of mind for them was way long overdue. But we see today the same zealout orthodox fundmentalists making life hell for everyone, they are mirror images of your Maccabean zealouts before, same exact kind of fanatics.

World doesnt need them any longer or those fake tribal propaganda stories that belong in the past as Einstein suggested, no firmly believed.
