Wow, impressive!
Too bad you didn't spend that time finding and understanding this passage instead:

Tell me, Mr. Christian.  How does that not apply when Israel suffered the atrocities that Hamas committed on innocent civilians on Oct. 7th?
And not to blow my own horn because your approval of me means very little, but you're talking to someone who was a student in Catholic schools for most of my life, a choir boy, a captain of the altar boys, and a ballplayer on an all-Catholic baseball team.  I worked for free for years in the church rectory and was great friends with one of the priests in my parish for many years.

So stick with the facts and I'll do my best not to humiliate you for your foolishly pacifist opinions, OK?

obviously you are not christian because you have no idea what Christ said.Eye for Eye38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[h] 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.Love for Enemies43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[i] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.Footnotes
