Take the following as truth: For all his accomplishments, Herod was nevertheless hated by his subjects; he taxed, he tortured, and he ordered the massacre of male Jewish infants in an attempt to do away with the heralded Messiah.
Then the following statement: "Herod, while a very successful person, was not well loved by his people; especially after calling for the extermination of all male Jewish newborns as a way of stopping the potenial rise of the legendary Messiah." is true, false, or inconclusive?
