The violence of the OT which Jehovah sanctioned in the OT was s1anctioned exclusively for one nation for the purpose of establishing a messianic kingdom on a planet full of pagan nations on one small local area of land.
"Sanctioned" is softer word than; ordered genocide and rape of young children. Call it like it is.
If the god of the OT is omnipotent why he didn't just have this holy land vacated so that the children of Israel would be spared experiences of hacking children, babies and old people?
