Comment on How bad is it that Israel has attacked Iran?

Well, it could be really bad, or it might only be a little bit bad.
Israel has nuclear weapons, Iran has been trying to develop nuclear weapons and probably has them, and both sides believe God is on their side.

Meanwhile, God’s over here saying “Woah there guys, don’t bring ME in the middle of this. I told all y’all Thou shalt not kill.”

That’s glossing over the many times he tells people to kill each other.

Yeah, but those guys were real assholes.

Unfortunately no, there are a bunch of times in both the Torah and the Bible where God explicitly tells Israel to commit genocide, eg Amalek.
