Every word of it. Christianity does not teach us to kill unbelievers. We are to attempt to get the good word to them and pray that they do what's right. That's all we can do about them.
What the Israelites had to do thousands of years ago is something entirely different. Some of their descendants, the Jews, were the ones who condemned Jesus to death. He could have blown the lot of them away, but chose not to.
You need to read the whole Bible, concentrating on the New Testament.
BTW, the Bible is 66 works gathered into one volume. The first half is pre-Jesus but had prophecies predicting Jesus. The Israelites had to survive wars, not just for their property, but also for their religion. The enemies had to be completely annihilated. When they failed in that, problems arose.
So you're saying that putting words in mouth means something?
Right, so the Bible is a product of its place and time, but still contains much valid and timeless wisdom. Do you think there is a wrong way and a right way to interpret the Bible?
There is a war going on right now, and there are only two sides. If you think that muslims in general are on the side of death, then you clearly never interact with them.
have you read the bible?

100% and amen :)
so you're saying that certain questionable statements in the Bible are overruled by other concepts in the same work?
Exactly which statements are questionable?
