The Lord (Yahweh/Jehovah) of the Old Testament has been bitterly misrepresented by supposed scholars who condemn the God of Israel for commanding them under Joshua's leadership to slaughter even women and children occupying the land of Canaan.
What they refuse to take into account is that these "giants" were not real humans, but mutant offspring of fallen angels currently dwelling in the land of Canaan. That's why 10 of the spies sent by Moses were so afraid, considering themselves as mere "grasshoppers" in comparison.
In this situation our God is preserving the purity of mankind, by using Israel to destroy the Nephilim completely, yet liberal "scholars" would use this to condemn God for not "saving" Nephilim women and children.
