| | Jewish communities around the country have spent tens of millions of dollars in recent years to protect their schools, offices and community centres from attacks similar to those launched against Jewish centres overseas. | | | The centre houses several Jewish organisations and is the nerve centre for Jewish political, charitable and administration activities. | | | The plot, partly revealed in telephone intercepts, was interpreted as preparations for an attack on the Beth Weizmann Community Centre in Caulfield. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Flavius Josephus |
| | He accompanied the emperor as far as Egypt, when the latter had handled over to his son the prosecution of the Jewish War, but then joined the retinue of Titus, and was an eyewitness of the destruction of the Holy City and her Temple. | | | He went to Rome in the year 64 with the object of procuring from Nero the release of some imprisoned Jewish priests, who were friends of his. | | | Impressed by the outward importance of the Pharisees and hoping to secure through them a position of influence, he attached himself to their party at the age of nineteen, although he shared neither their religious nor political views. |

| | The Jewish War and the Destruction of Jerusalem |
| | But the prophecy of the Redeemer had to be fulfilled; the destruction of the temple occurred on the Jewish Sabbath, August 10th, 70. | | | The catastrophic event of its present, past, or future destruction would be a central, decisive world event-an extraordinary intervention of God signaling the beginning of the last days of the world. | | | The Roman occupation forces, but also the high priest who tried to smother the rebellion, were no longer equal to the situation and were slaughtered. |

| | Flavius Josephus |
| | One of the author's aims is to show that the Jewish culture is older than any other then existing culture; the same idea can be found in the writings of Philo of Alexandria, a Jewish philosopher who lived in the first half of the first century CE. | | | Dedicated to Epaphroditus, it is an apology of Judaism against all kinds of anti-Semitic slander, which had been collected by the Alexandrian author Apion in a History of Egypt; it is therefore also known as Against Apion. | | | Josephus explains what Jewish cult, law, and religion are really about. |

| | Joseph Dan, a Professor of Jewish mysticism in Hebrew University in Jerusalem, writing on the death of Jesus stated: 'The modern Jewish apologists, hesitantly adopted by the church, preferred to put the blame on Romans. | | | When they refused one of the Jewish students slapped one of our pupils in the face and in a second the whole place was full of at least 60 Jewish students kicking our children, beating them with sticks, and hurling stones while cursing them... | | | Many Catholics are understandably confused as to why some in the Jewish community feel constrained to second guess so many of what are, after all, internal matters in the life of the church. |

| | Emil Schürer writes: "The best known historian of Jewish affairs in the Greek language is the Palestinian Josephus, properly Joseph, the son of Matthias, a priest of Jerusalem. | | | At that point he released the prophetic Josephus, and the future historian returned to Judea with Titus, Vespasian's son, who now had the task of suppressing the revolt. | | | In this we have a rather full presentation of Jewish halakah as known to Josephus."
