Nobody seems to mind how many Germans and Japanese we sent to Hell less than 70 years ago.
But when people read of Israel righteously invading a foreign land to do the same thing as we did in WWII, and bring about a similar justice at the command of God, then everyone gets all bent out of shape and thinks of it as some great evil unworthy of the God they say they want to worship.

...disregarding that we are not in that dispensation, and that those stories are not being retold in approval, but to illuminate some raw truth. In each of those stories of rape or incest are central points that seem to be being missed? I mean, we have stories about people under siege eating their own children, too--doesn't mean God recommends it.
