Christians also know that the OT has been supercede by the NT and has essentially no bearing upon Christianity other than historical context.
The only reason Jews abandoned violence is because they have been defeated so many times that they have been forced to do so. Their history before that is full of the typical genocide, slavery and rape expected of dogmatic faiths.
Paul wrote some pretty vile shit, too. I can't name an atrocity perpetrated by Jews which comes anywhere near what went on during the Crusades. People were shitty to each other the world over, and often still are. We barely started crawling away from that when the Enlightenment movement began in secular Europe.

There is a long list of tribes the Jews treated way worse than crusaders.
