| Why do the people of Tur Malka and Beitar (Gittin57a) attack the Roman soldiers for such stupid, little reasons? The citizens of Tur Malka attacked the Roman soldiers just for taking a chicken and a hen that were infront of the Chassan and Kallah. The citizens of Beiter attacked the daughter of the Caesar's private bodyguards. Why wasn't it plainly obvious that that is a totally suicidal move? I know the Gemara on 56a says they should have been more scared of consequences, but this is beyond just not thinking about consequences! This sounds like being totally braindead! |
