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?

do you consider Christ 'foolish'?  
Eye for Eye Love for Enemies
matthew 543 “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
