there was an engineered conflict between (Northern) Canaan and (Southern) "Jews" with martial race theory, AIT Invasions, accusations of blood libel, invention of multiple exiles, all aiming to rent the Phoenician society asunder. Yes they tried to break away from acknowledging their antecedents in Persia and farther East.

587: Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon/Chaldea destroys the Temple in response to uprising and deported large numbers to Mesopotamia/Babylon.
582: Further deportations to Babylon. Adoption of the Hebrew script over the Israelite script. Beginning of the process of canonising the Torah/Tanakh.

515: Second Temple consecrated.

Alexandria in Egypt becomes a major Jewish centre, particularly of Jewish-Hellenic thought.
319: Beginning of long struggle between the inheritors of Alexander â Ptolemaics of Egypt and Seleucids of Syria.
198: Seleucids (based in Antioch) wrests Palestine from Ptolemies for the final time. Rise of Hellenisation. Counter-movement are the Pharisees, predecessor of Rabbinic Judaism.
175: Hellenised Jason becomes High Priest. Converts Jerusalem in to a Greek-style Polis complete with gymnasium and ephebeion.
167: Antiochus IV, Seleucid ruler sacks Jerusalem, massacring large numbers of Jews and desecrating the temple. Leads to revolt of the Maccabees/Hasmoneans and the Hasidim against Seleucids and Hellenised Jews. Celebrated as Hanukah.
164: Antiochus IV dies.
139: Jews banished from Rome
63: Pompey takes Jerusalem and enters the Holy of Holies. Hasmonean kingdom forced to pay tribute to Rome. Hasmonean King placed under the authority of the Roman governor of Syria.
40: Parthian/Persian invasion of the Roman Empire with Hasmonean contender. Babylonian Jews support these efforts as do anti-Hellenistic Jews.
40: Roman Senate designates Herod âKing of the Jewsâ thanks to the backing of Mark Antony.
37: Herod takes power.
31: Great earthquake. Herod responds with a massive building programme.
20: Herod the Great begins massive rebuilding and expansion of the Temple, which involved the elevation of Temple Mount.
4 BC: Herod dies.
6 AD: Kingdom of Judah is now ruled by a Roman Procurator; pace of Hellenisation is no longer in Jewish hands, and a smaller percentage of tax revenues are spent in Judah.
19: Jews banished from Rome by Claudius.
66: Jewish Revolt begins. Largely over loss of control over pace of Hellenisation and influence over how tax monies are directed.
68: Death of Nero. Civil war delays Roman campaign. Jews take it as a sign of divine intervention.
69: Vespasian takes the throne. Josephus chronicles his campaign in Palestine.
70: Revolt suppressed by the Romans led by Titus. Temple destroyed. Large numbers of Jews leave Palestine, and many move north from Judea to Galilee. Jews continue to pay taxes, which go to the Roman state rather than the Temple.
131: Hadrian builds entirely pagan city of Aelia Capitolina on the ruins of Jerusalem.
Jews excluded on the pain of death, but keep up secret pilgrimages. Jewish access to the city is not fully restored until defeat of the Ottoman Empire in 1917.
132: Bar Kochba launches second Jewish revolt, establishes state of Israel. Jewish Army annihilates Roman legion. Bar Kochba Christians to join in, but they demur*. Bar Kochba's movement like much of the Roman is not only anti-Roman in a political sense, it is anti-Hellenistic in a cultural sense
135: Bar Kochbaâs state conquered by the Romans. Hadrian consolidates Judaea, Galilee and Samaria in to the new province of Palestine.
POST WAR: The people undergo an enormous transformation. From landed people to landless diaspora. The belief in the futility of military response becomes ingrained. The religion changes from one based around temple rituals in Jerusalem to one based on congregational worship and scripture.
*NOTE: the worse the Romans persecute Jews, the more Christians (until then a Jewish sect) begin to disassociate themselves from other Jews. When Roman persecution shifts to Christians, Jews return the favour. Roman adoption of Christianity in the 4th and 5th centuries AD *without* similar lifting of state discrimination against Jews turns the split between Jews and Christians truly unpleasant.
