As we know the genocide of G-d's chosen people in the Holocuast was the worst crime in human history an event of unique unparalleled horror
Yet it is a mitzvoh (commandmant) for us Jews to commit Genocide
A List of the 613 Mitzvot (Commandments)
600 Not to keep alive any individual of the seven Canaanite nations (Deut. 20:16) (negative).
601 To exterminate the seven Canaanite nations from the land of Israel (Deut. 20:17) (affirmative).
613 To destroy the seed of Amalek (Deut. 25:19) (CCA77).

So isnt it wrong and anti-semitic to say that Genocide is ALWAYS wrong?

I think you are quite right. Religion is all about genocide.

"reliable" and "Evil" are philosophically subjective words utilized by technique of politicians before an journey and by technique of historians afterwards. the most objective thanks to look on the moral cost of any journey is to make certain the quantity of abuse it generates as against the quantity of income it creates. Genocide, by technique of its very nature, creates truly some abuse. besides the undeniable fact that, the guy or the employer that commits the crime (or any crime for that count number number) will see some income from it. contained with regards to genocide, the ease is often seen from a political attitude. this does no longer justify the action. This only explains that there is not any such issue as absolute, objective evil.

It's possible to disagree with the tenents of someone's religion without being opposed to the person. The Catholic church is against birth control. I use birth control. I'm not anti-Catholic for it. I am, however, opposed to anyone who believes their religion should be forced upon me.
Believe what you will. Killing others for any motivation other than self-preservation IS wrong, because it forces your will upon others. Such acts will ALWAYS be met with opposition, and should be.

It isn't always illegal, I believe in using it on liberals!
Actually, it is always illegal. The laws of the Old Testament don't always apply after the New Testament came into effect.
The things you mentioned were usually ordered by God for punishment to the particular nations or people.
The Ten Commandments were the laws given by God and are the laws He goes by. Most of the laws after them were man made

The unadulterated destruction of any group of people is always wrong. It's that simple.
