The assassination of Jesus and his Jewish brothers: Jesus's body was removed from the cross during the terror reign of Puntius Pilatus (26-36 ac), the Roman commissioner in the occupied territories of Judea. Pilatus was appointed by Tiberius, but was later deposed due to his extreme cruelty to the civilian population living under his responsibility. 3 The Roman proctors were in fact absolute rulers, holding the Roman "right of the sword", imparting them the right to unrestricted death sentence for non-Roman citizens of the province, i.e. a complete authority to punish, including capital cases, without any right to appeal for the condemned to any higher instance, as existed in Rome. Pilon Alexandrony testifies to Pilatus's extreme cruelty who was responsible for the death of 250,000 Jews during the years of his authority, thus the manner of Jesus's humiliation and death, with such sadism, was rather logical both for his period as well as the later 2000 years, so full with persecution of Jews by the "European native". Would the body of Jesus be the only one found dead in the occupied province of Judea, we could accept the multitude of prattle about this affair, disguising European crime with blood libels against Jews for generations. But several years later, another body was found - it was the body of Todos 4, assassinated by the Romans about five years after Jesus. Todos presented himself as Messiah and was followed by a large number of innocent Jewish believers from the Galilee, who really believed he could do the same miracles as Moses had done, and part the waters of the Jordan River for them. The Roman commissioner Cospius Fedos murdered them all, including Todos, with no trial. The bodies of Todos and his followers remained buried and untouched by history, but many other Jewish bodies were added to the huge pile of 1,200,000 Jews murdered by the European natives - all of which are hard evidence for trial purposes. Between the years 48-52 ac, under the Roman commissioner Ventinus Comanos, a civilian up-rise took place, following his trampling the honor of the conquered people and desecration of their sanctuaries. 5 Comanos's soldiers were responsible for the murder of Jews within the premises of the Temple in Jerusalem on Passover. Comanos also sent his troops to perform a massacre among Jews in Samaria, for the sake of "Pax Romana". On the year 69 bc, Flavius Aspasianus marched into Judea with his army. Within one year his son Titus conquered Jerusalem, with his father's backing for everything he did there. Josephus Flavius relates, 6 "and when the Temple was burning in fire, the Romans robbed everything within grasp and conducted a terrible massacre of all Jews they encountered, not sparing infants and old ones or the ministers of the Temple. They killed old people and babies, laymen and priests, and the sword of the enemy consumed all the families around, and even those who asked foe mercy were mercilessly slaughtered." ...from there the Roman passed to the hall in the outer court of the Temple of God, to where women and children had fled, about six thousand souls. And the soldiers did not wait until Caesar gave his verdict and their officers gave the order, but hurried and set fire to the hall. Those who fled the fire broke their bones and dies and the others were burned alive and none was saved". 7 "And when the soldiers hands were tired of killing, the mass of citizens were seen in the city - those who survived the massacre. And Caesar ordered to kill the bearers of arms, those who resisted and take all others prisoners. And the soldiers did as ordered and further killed the old and feeble..."
