    They didn’t fail at genocide. That’s not an absolute, it’s a process. They may’ve failed at outright extinction most often (though some scattered empires of old would point out that they were destroyed by religion), but genocide is an inalienable aspect of every single religion known to mankind. Right up there with molesting children and blatantly plagiarizing “sacred” text whole cloth from other grifter “holy” men.

      They failed the first time around (“invasion” of the Canaanite lands, where they were told to genocide their neighbors.)

        “They” aren’t anywhere near the first, mind you, and again: genocide describes a series of actions, not just the culmination (unlike “extinction”, as I said).
