I have studied this and have found that the Jewish people rationalize the slayings of the Canaanites with the knowledge that the Shemite people were driven from the land earlier by the Canaanites the same way they drove them out of the land.
This goes back to the tradition of an eye for an eye. Is the tradition of an eye for an eye just? Is it good to kill those who kill? I think there is some justification here, but Jesus said that he came with a better law. He said that you were once told to hate those who hate you, but I tell you to love them instead.
I know of no Christian who would justify a genocide of any kind because of this teaching of Jesus. Therefore, the programs, the Crusades, the inquisitions, they are all condemned by the teachings of Jesus. Note that these evil occurred by a people largely ignorant and uneducated regarding the Bible. It took Martin Luther to return Christianity from being the tool of the statist, like Constantine.
However, you wish us to believe that Christians and Muslims are the same? You wish us to believe that even though Muhammad personally executed about 800 Jews, and offers verses that say such things as "kill the Jew where you find him", to be equals with the Lord Jesus Christ?
Ha!!
Christians no longer hold the eye for an eye doctrine anymore than Jews and Muslims hold to the teachings of Jesus to love your enemies. As a result, they both can continue to enjoy the fruit of their actions.
Face it, the only person to try to bring back some sanity to the situation is the one person you rejected.
