WI a Jewish state, roughly in Palestine, had survived Masada. I believe that there had already been a diaspora by 0 CE/ BCE.
Still if such a nation had managed to stay in existence what follows?
I think it might easily have retained existence, or be it subordinate to a Moslem empire the spread of Islam.
In OTL Christianity was VERY anti semitic circa 1100. However if there had been fewer Jews in Europe would this have been weaker.
Alternatively would the Jewish state in alliance with Arabs have prevented the Crusaders taking Jerusalem?
