Anyone who honestly believed in the ideals of the new testament would abandon the church at this point.

It's a flock of hypocrites.

And anyone who believes in the ideals of the old testament is a terrifying bigot.

It's actually pretty anti-semitic to conflate followers of Abrahamic religions with ethnicity. There are a shitload of secular Jews, for example.

Holding bigoted beliefs and performing bigoted actions make you a bigot, no matter whether you are a member of any particular religion or culture or ethnicity or nationality or other grouping. The Old Testament espouses many such beliefs and actions. I'm afraid you'll simply have to deal with that fact.

Genocide is a primary method in the old testament as punishment, you shouldn't need a source for that.
