Now, let's have a look at your OP, shall we? Let's start here:
Two of these, 2 and 3, are always genocidal, while whether 1 and 4 depends on factors. In this context, 1 is a definite genocide, while 4 would depend on the terms of said treaty.
This statement:
....is a textbook definition of a genocide. It simply does not get any closer to genocide than this.
Do I have to teach you how the Convention on Genocide works as well, or what?
number 3
so when a atheist tries to convince a christian of atheist, that is genocide? when a christian asks a atheist to become a christian that is genocide?
number 2
so when france went to war against germany after being attacked, and britian invaded germany, you count that as genocide?
statement "The goal of the conquest was to remove the Canaanites from the land not to kill them.."
you clearly leave out other statements made in my op, seems almost like academic dishonesty. As you have done the whole time, your being dishonest and cherry picking parts and ignoring all else to enable false info to come about.
a few of the many points you missed
Canaanites initiated the attacks on isreal first
The Canaanites initiated the attacks on Israel when Israel was defenseless killing children and woman elderly, ex 17 8-13 num 21.1 21-26 33-35 dut 2 26-37 3 1-22
so already we have self defense.
No were in ot does offensive military initiative with purpose of conversion or Territory expansion.
upon entering the land Israel
simply asked for safe passage and were than
attacked first by Canaanites numbers 21.1 21 21-24 21.33 20 14-17
isreal was than after attacked,
asked for peace.
when Canaanites rejected [those that did some did make peace and kept land and no war] and continued attacks, isreal gave the 4 options
The nations in cannan were given 4 options
1] leave- some left
2] war
3] join isreal
4]make peace treaty
isreal was than ordered to drive them out of the land not kill them, for reasons given on op.
Drive out not kill
Isreal was to drive out Canaanites not annihilate num 21.32 33.52 dt 9.1 11.23 18.14 19.1 ex 23.28 lev 10.24 num 33.52 etc just as adam and eve were “driven out” of the garden of Eden gen 4.14
land originally Israel's and gods the promise land
they were not to just go fight anyone to take land,The land belongs to god and Israel,so
they were taking there land back
5#Do not provoke them to war, for
I will not give you any of their land, not even enough to put your foot on. I have given Esau the hill country of Seir as his own.
Deuteronomy 2.5 also 2.9 and 2.19 also Deuteronomy 2:2-23
Deuteronomy 20.16 limits “holy war” to the promise land.
Only people who did not have right or title to land would be dispossessed,Unlike edom dut 2.4 23.7 and moab/ammon dut 2.9,19 gen 12-12 promises isreal the land gen 13 14-17.
Canaanite lived with and among isreal and next to isreal with peace treaties from beginning and for thousands of years after.
none of the OT wars were fought with the purpose of forcibly converting the pagans to the religion of Israel. God commanded these wars for the specific purpose of punishment and judgment
Canaanites destruction was not genocide or racism but
because of moral behavior.
a group that practiced today what Canaanites did, even in liberal west would not be tolerated in society.
thir is much more in op you are ignoring.
