Christians who take the OT events literally, you mean. There's a big ass variety of Christians out there, and many mainstream Christians don't take certain accounts/passages from the OT literally.
And even for Christians who take these accounts literally, they don't necessarily think much about them or have skewed and selected ideas of what the OT says (based on what they're told by pastors and such).
And for those who do (often lazily) approve of genocide as depicted, some will nevertheless say God would never do this again because <insert reasoning to do with New Covenant or whatever>.
As for Muslims and Jews, similar thing. Large variety out there.
