    Well, have a look in the old Testament, specifically Leviticus 24:17-22.

    19 If anyone injures his neighbor, as he has done it shall be done to him, 20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever injury he has given a person shall be given to him.

    You know the part that is shared between Christianity and Judaism.

      That’s “an eye for an eye,” which is already horrible, but is not an escalation. Israel is escalating, “a genocide for a single attack.”

      And if you think about it, it makes NO sense, as humanity would have to destroy themselves too finally get even. Then there’s one person left, who won the game. Now it’s game over. So dumb.
