My Comment on A Book Review at the London Times

Here:-

Michael Chabon has another opportunity to write his "Jews with Swords" book. All he has to do is to review the true story of a Jewish revolt in the Persian exile, later Iran, under Mar Zutra II. He led the revolt against the fanatic Kobad the Zenduk (488-531) in 502, establishing a Jewish state in Babylon with Mahoza as its capital. It lasted seven years. Eventually his army was overcome and he and his grandfather, Mar Hananiah, were crucified on the bridge of Mahoza. Many Jewish leaders were forced to flee and their institutions were closed.
