Price did a good job in that and still failed to consider the political situation in Rome.
The jews were crushed so thoroughly in 70 that when other eastern jewish communities rebelled in 115 AD they sat there and said "no thanks, boys....we'll sit this one out." The message had sunk in and it wasn't until Hadrian provoked them in 132 that they rebelled again. And were crushed, again.
Some fucking people never learn.
The notion that Vespasian would have even felt the need to bother with the jews is laughable. He had just dealt with them...at the point of a sword.
