The whole pathological tenor of your post makes me wonder if I am just spitting in the wind in trying to address it. But, let me make one point. If we are talking about bloodthirsty "holy books" you really can't beat the Old Testament for blood,gore and conquering zeal. Throughout it Jehovah commanded His "people" to invade the lands of others and wipe out the inhabitants down to the last woman and child (in one case even the livestock were included). So, where is that basic respect for the "value of human life?" Not very evident. So I should make judgements about the Israelis based on their holy book? If I did that I would be forced to believe that they feel they have the right to wipe out the Palestinians down to the last woman child because Jehovah commanded them to take over as much of that area as they could way back when.
