Oh, so I pity the poor jews who are genociding my people?
Destroy evil. Do not think you are better, do not think it will sort itself out, do not think God will do it.
If evil is not actively destroyed, and I mean the perpetrators brought to justice (death), it will thrive. It will succeed. It is short-lived, yes, and if it is allowed to thrive in that short period, it succeeded.
No. None of this calls for pacifism or tolerance of evil; quite the opposite, in fact. Morality is dictated by the intolerance of evil, therefore the measure of your Christianity is based on how much you hate jews. Everything you said is the basis of Christianity, even though jews have to tried to subvert it in modern times to be some wimpy hippy nonsense.

This guy fails to understand that his concept of "good" and "evil" is a completely foreign concept to ancient man. This concept of morality is shared with the pharisees and sadducees, the enemies of Jesus in the New Testament. They put abstractions over reality, thinking that God worried about how many chickens you slaughtered versus whether you are taking care of your elderly parents or not.
The "good" that Jesus taught is rather simple and straightforward. "Good" means being alive. It means being healthy. It means having power. It means being able to eat and to take shelter and wear clothing. "Evil" is the opposite of that. Sickness, death, weakness, poverty are all evil.
Jesus told us to do good by fighting against this form of evil. Visit the powerless in the prison. Tend to the sick. Feed the hungry. Clothe the naked. Shelter the homeless. Etc...
Jesus promises us that if we continue down this path of turning "good" against "evil" we will eventually overcome this world, his kingdom will reign on the earth, and all pain and suffering and death will be ended and overcome. Then, we can become like God, sit on his throne, inherit his attributes, and be counted as co-heirs with Christ.
So, if you want to be "good" in the ancient morality, build a house. Mend your clothing. Eat good food. Grow your wealth. Not monetary assets or stocks or bitcoins, but the things that actually fill your belly and clothe you. Then take those things you have and share them with your friends and family and neighbors. You really don't have to get much more complicated than this.
If you do, you run the risk of doing the things that Jesus warned us against. For instance, the pharisees would take some of their property, declare it "corban" meaning dedicated to the temple, and refusing to help their own elderly parents. Or they would refuse to help the downtrodden or sick or wounded, fearing they might offend God by touching someone unclean.
That's not the sort of "good" we should be thinking of. "Good" is not abstract. It is concrete and obvious.
You say he fails to understand then go on to explain everything he says and repeats. But you also fail to understand "good" also means "kill bad guys." Which you never mentioned.
