Sorry. You are swimming upstream. The historical record shows quite clearly that Titus’ men destroyed the Temple.

You missed my point, physically yes the Roman’s destroyed the Temple (as an example) but the Jews clearly desecrated and caused the ruin of the city and the Sanctuary.

Daniel 9:26
... and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy (cause the ruin of) the city and the sanctuary ...

Strong’s translation on the word ‘destroy’:
“A primitive root; to decay, that is, (causatively)ruin (literally or figuratively):...

In this case: literally. So I say again, it was the Jews that caused the destruction of the Temple and is therefore (according to Daniel) the ‘people’ of the prince.
