OK, thanks.

Wasn't it mainly the Zealots who were "upset that the Nazarene sect had not assisted in the resistance"?

The Zealots were upset (to put it mildly) with more than just the Nazarenes -- Johanan ben Zakkai and his group (Pharisees?) were also targeted, for example.

So as far as I know (and I admit I don't know much), early relations between Nazarenes and other Jewish groups weren't especially strained, with perhaps the exception of the Zealots.

The Pharisees were not of a single mind themselves regarding resistance to the Romans. The more accommodationist among the Pharisees were likewise targets of the Sicarii.

I'd agree if by "early" you mean from around 40-90 C.E.
