who were fanatics partly responsible for jesus's death;
They regularly called jesus the messiah, a title the apolitical jesus didnt want.'Messiah' was the traditional title of jewish king and that handily gave kng herod,pharisees and the(reluntant)romans the excuse to crucify jesus. Crucification was the death sentence for anti-roman rebels(like Sparticus) whle stoning was for herectics/blasphemers The zealots really believed jesus can send angelic legions to crush the romans,much like the ISIS boys believe in divine intervention.
One can term the more radical muslims the pan-arab equivalent of zealots. Somehow jesus's crucification delinked Zealotry from the post-crucifiction early church
