Set up by God?
Joshua 11:19-20 No one in this region made peace with the Israelites except the Hivites of Gibeon. All the others were defeated. For the Lord hardened their hearts and caused them to fight the Israelites. So they were completely destroyed without mercy, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
PERSONAL COMMENTARY
How can the genocide be justified when it was God who "hardened their hearts and caused them to fight the Israelites" in the first place?

Once you make your choice, you make it. God gave man the freedom of choice, and once you made your word, you couldn't turn your back on it. It's an honorable thing. Man can never make up their minds, even now these days... So when God "hardens" a heart, it means he doesn't convict a person to change, because in simple terms... "They're screwed." Even in Modern Christianity Doctrine, you can lose your livelyhood with too much hesitation to do the honorable thing.
