The synthesis of a variety of Judaic sources demonstrates that '''Notzrim''' (נוצרים) were poligamous royalist Israelite apostates Minim who trampled the Torah-for-Qehal but secretly venerated the [[Baetylus]] on Sundays. Their politics caused much strife in Israel for 30 years after their ring-leader Ben Stada was executed in 56CE for starting their Mandaean sect from his Karaite supporters in Beit Shammai.
