The Zealots, a Jewish political movement in the first century CE, faced several significant problems. They struggled with internal divisions and differing ideologies about how to achieve their goals, particularly regarding the use of violence against Roman authorities. Additionally, their radical approach alienated some Jewish groups, leading to conflicts within their own community. Ultimately, their uprising against Rome culminated in the disastrous Siege of Jerusalem in 70 CE, resulting in significant loss of life and the destruction of the Second Temple.
