I was talking about the later PBS I Claudius. But it turns out Herod was indeed an Arab bedouin by ancestry.

You are going to take a book acknowledged by its writer as fiction as your authoritative source?
Are you trying to win the dumbest retard award?Maybe we should give up that old slab of rock, Capitol Hill in Washington, to Putin and the Russians.What silly nonsense that people kill and die for a several thousand year old slab of rock.

It is immaterial. He died a jew.

LOL. He was an Arab you idiot.
The Romans were kindly and were very good about freedom of religion, as long as the adherents did not rebel against the Republic, Rome was a Republic at the time.. That's why they built the temple for the Jews. They destroyed it when the Jews revolted. But, Herod was an Arab, an early Palestinian Arab even if he converted to Judaism.

Eh, Monte, be he an Arab or not, the Temple was still built for Jews to worship. Get it yet?
So what? Does it have a deed from Baal or Yahweh? Show us.Hebrews.
We won't give up Temple Mount, Israeli rabbis tell Obama
Some 70 religious Zionist rabbis and educators issue a petition directed at the Israeli and American leaders, stating that the Jewish ownership of the holy site preceded the existence of Islam. Therefore, they say, the current visitation and prayer arrangements at the Temple Mount are 'only temporary.'

The first Temple was built by King Solomon. The second one was built by Zerubabbel and other Jews, but it was rebuilt and enlarged by Herod. That still predates Islam.
I claudius is not authoritative. It is pretty good tv and books though.

Who says he ever converted to Judaism? It was normal practice in those days for rulers not to follow local cults.

Herod was descended from Idumean converts. The Idumeans were conquered and forcibly converted to Judaism during the Maccabean period of Judean history. (They were the only nation to be forcibly converted by Jews. Muslims and Christians forcibly converted many, many nations.) Thus, at least technically, Herod was a Jew. Was Herod an Arab? Arab is a very vague term, referring to many nomadic, roaming tribes of that area. Was he a Palestinian? Certainly not. At that particular period of time, the Romans hadn't even renamed Judea as yet.
