God commanded the Israelites when entering Canaan after the Exodus to kill everyone in the land, including babies.

Were those babies "innocent"?

Yes they were. Your theology seems to suggest that infanticide, which some zealot claims was commanded by God, is justified. This is more akin to Muslim fundamentalism than to the message of Christ. Unfortunately, the OT is froth with such God-directed genocidal acts.
