All the things the Jєωs did in the Old Testament that were mentioned in this article were ordered by God, so I don't see why that should be brought up in describing the chartacter and behavior of the Jєωs today. The Jєωs' theivary and ruthlessness back then was not a sin but this same behavior of the Jєωs today is a sin because they are no longer the Chosen People (nor has God allowed them to deal with the Gentiles in the same way today).
