The fact that there were no popular revolts against him and the country was generally quite prosperous as a result of Herod's building activities suggests that in spite of what the fucking priests and their hangers-on wrote the populace liked him.
There were no popular revolts against Stalin. Neither were any against Hitler (in Germany).
I liked the parts where these old yahoodies tolchock each other and then drink their Hebrew vino, and getting onto the bed with their wives' handmaidens.
