Genocides were common in ancient history, this is well known and there’s no way around it. But I see our arrival in the Promised Land as signaling the end of this dynamic. The fact that we were commanded to destroy the Midianites does not allow us to kill Palestinians. In fact Muslims conquered the Temple Mount fair and square and now we must grant them free access without metal detectors. My Judaism helps me understand that G-d’s intention was to help us learn to live by his principles but not his divine intervention every time we get into a jam.
