God used the Hebrews to conquer lands for their use. God promoted warfare and ethnic cleansing to rid those lands of competition. God killed the first sons of Egypt to free the Hebrews. God condemned a generation of His own people to death in the desert.
Who is on God’s side. Lugh? Maybe a better question is what does it take for God to be on your side? Even Jesus said that the defense of Christianity would take violence. So maybe the Back and forth violence used by Israel and the USA, (and others) might be just the ticket to be on God’s side?
The fact that you think you have an “in” with God, shows that you do not. God is within us, all of us, and my God belongs to me, thank you. You have yours and I have mine. God is not the benevolent spirit you seem to think He is.
Judaism was a religion like no other before it. It wasn't perfect. But it was all the Commander-in-Chief had to work with at that time. 'Rome was not build in a day'. But the Chief had a Plan, and along came Jesus. Now we have Christianity, which, if you think about it, is a very strange religion. Don't get me wrong. I was christened in my first week of life. And raised by two pious Christians. I'm just "re-visiting" my Christian faith here, now, at the end of my life, and from this perspective things look very interesting. I believe that the Almighty One knows what It is doing. We have a saying in A.A.: 'There is a God and you ain't Him'.
To your great credit, and because of who you are and what you are made for to do, you have taken a weapon against you and refashioned it into a weapon for good.
Who is on God's side? That's the proper question. Only a peaceful nation that minds its own business. That excludes the United States and Israel.

"My Kingdom is not of this world". Maybe your God is not who you think he is.
Their God is definitely not who they think he is. They have accepted an imposter.
