The First Revolt lasted seven years, 66 to 73 CE, not three

The First Revolt ran 66 to 73, that’s seven years, not three. Jerusalem fell in 70, Masada in 73. If you mean “three years to take Jerusalem,” it started in 66, so that’s four. Either way “three” is wrong.

Inside of the besieged Jerusalem, three Jewish factions (John of Gischala, Simon bar Giora, Eleazar ben Simon), were fighting. While Titus was at the gate of Jerusalem, the Jews continued their 3 way fight and burnt the food stores in their own city. Josephus, an eyewitness, says it. Tacitus confirms three armies in the city. The factions torched the grain to force everyone to fight instead of negotiate, and the population starved as a result. The clean heroic-resistance picture you’re painting is not what the sources describe.

Her line “All of that involved facing off against Roman soldiers, not raping Roman women and burning babies alive” has no source. Rome crucified 500 people a day outside Jerusalem’s walls under Josephus, the very period you chose to use. Rome enslaved women and children en masse. Titus’s siege razed the city.
