I have - I have even asked this question multiple times now, without response; if you want to break that mold, I will appreciate it...
...what do you do to a hostile foreign force that has spent centuries murdering you, robbing from you, stealing your women as sex slaves and children as sacrifices?
It also was not genocide, as the intent was not to destroy either a national, ethnic, religious, or racial group - it was to destroy a hostile foreign force, the same as GWoT or Ukraine.
Deuteronomy 20:16-17
Quote:"From the cities of these peoples which YHWH your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not let anything that breathes remain alive. You shall surely annihilate them ... just as YHWH your God has commanded you so that they may not teach you to do any of the abominations that they do for their gods, and you thus sin against YHWH your God".
I don't see how that can be interpreted as anything other than a call to genocide.
