That or he just likes to light up defenseless creatures with a lens or flood them with water. Putting that aside as far as I understand the main apologetical arguement for God's interferense is that he was displeased with humans' pride. In conjunction with other Bible's stories this leads to some pretty depressing assertions. Among them is that OT's God is against ambition-based progress. He's pro-swindling though. Also it's rather peculiar how he cares about racial purity of his chosen tribe and does despicable acts of cruelty to assist them (it's not strange at all when you look at it from a sceptical point of view but for religious christians it ought to pose intrinsic moral difficulties). Frankly speaking OT's god looks like someone who plays a strategy computer game with cheats.
