A little history:
The Census Revolt of 6 CE After Judea was made a Roman province in 6 CE, the Roman legate in Syria, Publius Sulphicus Quirinius ordered a census there to determine the taxable properties in Judea. This measure provoked a popular Jewish revolt that was led by one Judas of Galilee.
Palestine during the time of Jesus
The armed rebellion failed, thousands of prisoners were seized and some two thousand of the rebels were crucified. [b] The forces of Judas of Galilee became known as the Zealots, which came from the Greek zelos (rebellion) or as Cananaeans, from the Aramaic qanan with the same meaning. Some of Jesus' apostles were zealots: Simon the Cananaeans and, probably, Judas Iscariot. [3]
Two thousand crucified and six thousand more sold into slavery. I bet they won't burn their forms again!
Bloody Romans!

Relax you sissy!
Crucifiction these days is done with liquid nails, you'll hardly feel a thing.
Geeze - it's good to know that things haven't changed much in Judea in 2000 years.
