Jews were one of the many groups that were victims of roman imperialism / domination. Early christianity and much of judaism should be seen in this light: as a resistance to Roman imperialism.
Do you have a source for Jesus comparing non-jewish people as “dogs and generally bad people”?
I was making a walltext, but because my phone is garbage, and can’t do a swift job regarding copy pasting from different sources, so I will first say the first short part, and do the fat one in some note or something that doesn’t dissappear because of not enough data…
Ahem.
The Hebrew supremacy is not something that was born during the Roman Empire, its something the Old Testament is filled with, to the point that there’s even today in some Judaist sects, the celebration of the Amalekite genocide (which could have been pretty fictional, but still not so wholesome, frankly).
The OT is filled with promises of conquest and of enslavement of the rest of the world from the Israelites, either from Elohist (older) sources and from Yahwehist sources.
Now I’m going to do the collage work wherever I can.
