My only comment here is that these Hellenists were Jews as well. They were those who supported the modernizing concepts of Alexander the Great in ancient Israel. The Maccabee rebels were Jewish reactionaries. It's also important to note that the Hellenist Jews were the ones who founded Christianity.

The most tragic thing there was that after all that blood the Hasmonean kings Hellenized their country all by themselves within a couple of generations.

I think it would be correct to call Christianity "Hellenized Judaism". The NT emphasizes the hypocrisy and sterility of the Pharisees. This was a Jewish revitalization.
It's interesting that the Greeks were the first to fully embrace it. Most of the Epistles were written to Greek congregations.

What would being Hellenized mean for Jews two millennia ago?

What would being Hellenized mean for Jews two millennia ago? Language, administration, industry, education (for those who could afford such luxury), military. Probably pretty much everything but religion.

Why do you and gameboy continue to deny and denounce your North Macedonian and Russian nationalities, your every bit of an Israeli as Nicole Kidman and Mel Gibson being Australian! Australia just like the America's were stolen from indigenous people, same can be said about the disputed territory they call Israel. Which didnt exist until 1948, when the CIA helped Russian Jewish terrorists bomb the Brits into submission and to hand over British Mandate Palestine over to the blow ins from Eastern Europe!
