God commanded ancient Israel, at times, to fight other nations, because He was building and strengthening Israel. Why was He building and strengthening Israel? Because the Messiah, Jesus the Christ, was to be born through the nation of Israel.

Jesus is the Savior of all people who believe in Him. He will raise them from death in the resurrection.

Now that Jesus has lived, died, and risen again, there is no further need for Israel to war against anyone. Christians are not commanded to do this either. The fact that both Israel and Christians are out aggressively fighting and killing people for reasons of greed, shows that both Israel people and Christians are sinners.

Anyone who aggressively kills other people better have a very good reason, like real self-defense. If he/she doesn't, he will wind up answering to God in the judgment.
