That is why it is a wise assertion that neighbor referred to the community of believers. Sometimes, they did have visitors, but they were often treated as separate.
A Christian is among the community of believers and therefore considered a neighbor as it was considered in the OT.
Um, except none of that crap ever happened.
Which does raise an interesting question about modern jews who whine about the holocaust and then passively sit there while someone tells that that "joshua" exterminated the Canaanites.
I guess they get a pass because Hitler was real.
