I don't completely buy it. Sure, jews probably did this, they always do some shit, but their belief in doing this was likely them being copycats of every other culture around them. It's not just because it's a bit sticking out. In cultures unrelated to Europe and the near east, like China and others, most of the ancient statues have noses.
Defacing a statue by destroying the nose was an extremely common practice, especially in Egypt, which is probably where jews learned to do this. It was believed that the statue had a spirit and by destroying the nose, the statue could no longer "breathe", so they were killing it.
Christians and, most infamously, Muslims also picked up the habit somewhere down the line. Probably also largely from Egypt. This is actually one area in which the jews dont really stand out much. The fact that the purpose behind destroying the nose is virtually unchanged from the pagan ancient egyptians is further evidence that its all people copying them. The pagan romans may have picked up the practice themselves too. In all fairness too, back then defacing a statue was different from doing it now. It wasn't exactly a priceless ancient artifact when they were still being newly made.
Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed
yeah its not exactly something limited to one belief. it seems like a way to clam victory over an opponent, not strictly something limited to the eastern mediterranean either
