^^^ non sequitur and diversion typical of the
school of josef Goebbels AND a response reeking of
a jelly-bean education. The PHARISEES did not force
the Edomites to 'convert' to Judaism----and, in fact,
their "conversions' were not even valid from the PHARISEE pov. In jewish lore---JOHN HYRCANUS gets a very mixed review-----sorta like Herod. In sum, he is not highly regarded-----his career kinda reminds me of that of Richard Nixon
Didn't he defeat Antiochus IV Epiphanies and restore the temple?
