The Romans did not persecute Jews out of hatred, or at least the evidence for that isn't very good. The problem was that Jews wouldn't quietly accept Roman rule and kept revolting. Eventually the Romans got tired of that, and ethnically cleansed the region.

It didn't seem to have much to do with persecution and hatred. Just power (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Jewish%E2%80%93Roman_War). Wars for power still kill you just as dead, but it's advisable to understand the difference in motivations. Once scattered, the Jews weren't particularly persecuted, because they were no longer a threat to Roman power.

Romans were not happy with Corinth, splat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Corinth_(146_BC).

Palmyrenes? Splat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Emesa).

It is hard for those with modern sensibilities to comprehend just how grotesquely violent these conflicts often were even without persecutorial hatred. If your primary frame of reference is the Nazis, it's hard to understand history.
