With what's happening at Gaza I wouldn't miss Judaism too.
I wouldn't paint with such broad strokes. Jews aren't the ones to blame for that, the state of Israel is. Just because their state sanctioned religion is Judaism doesn't mean their philosophy is inherently genocidal.
That being said, if all the monotheistic abrahamic derivatives fell off the face of the earth, I think we'd be set on a better course as a species.
Deuteronomy 20 part of Jewish torah and Christian Old testament would disagree with the point you try to make.
Call me crazy, but maybe I'm uncomfortable associating an entire ethnic group with words written in a book over two millenia ago. Times change, and society changes along with it.
I don't know a single person who follows the bible/torah/quran as an absolutist. Everyone from every religion and every sect likes to pick and choose what they like to follow.
If someone is committing an act of genocide against another people, I can guarantee they were going to do it regardless of what their silly book says about it.
Me too I only reserve that dishonour to those who do it to others.
