For example? You've picked the clearest possible statement there is, the word of the supreme being is "don't kill".

However, there are numerous passages in this document that downright demand that you kill.

And who dies? Aw man, who doesn't? The whole Torah is a kill-fest! Every child that hits or curses a parent. Both parties in adultery. Homosexuals. Any daughter of a priest who becomes a whore. Rebellious or disobedient sons. Rape victims who fail to cry out loudly because they are in a city! In a lot of these cases, the word is not just that these people are to be killed, but killed by fire or stoning.

In Deuteronomy, the Lord explains that the Israelites are not only the special, chosen people, but that they should smite and utterly destroy the other nations. Why? Well these people worship other gods. So not only should the Israelites smite and utterly destroy, they must destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.

Some of that, I'm sure, is against the Geneva convention.
