Couldn't he use his infinite power to create a sanctuary somewhere where they could live healthy lives? Why can't God come up with something better than massacring the Canaanites? Couldn't he have changed things so nobody inhabited Israel while they were in Egypt?
I guess god hated them because they worshiped another god which seems rather trivial for an omnipotent being.
He does not have the power to help. He only has the power to harm. That's why he's most well known for killing people, or sending plagues, or whatever. Jesus apparently had healing powers, though I'm not clear on where he got them.

Jesus could apparently heal at no cost to himself. I compare it to if I'm walking and I see someone stuck in a pit. It would be immoral not to take out my cellphone and call for help, which costs me nothing.
If Jesus did heal, why would he deserve thanks? It costs him nothing.
