The Roman destruction of Jerusalem in the Roman Wars/Jewish Revolt was at least as significant to the transformation of the Israelite nation as the Exodus was.

Yes. It spread both the Jewish Faith and the Christian Faith all over the world. The destruction of Jerusalem and the resulting Diaspora were among the greatest tragedies in History, but something good did come of it.

And now, the Jewish People are back in their homeland. The gentile world has a real problem with that, it would seem.

I have been to that place in the wide rolling valley and walked through Joshua’s water tunnels

I believe one of Saddam’s SCUDS was targeted there and fell not far away

Some places on earth have a power

The war was probably carried out by Auxiliaries, locals who had been recruited and then led by Roman officers. It’s my understanding that the destruction of the Temple in particular was done against the orders of Titus.
