Taking the Babylonian side in the Babylonian/Israelite conflict is taking anti-Semitism to a new level. To claim, as you did, that the Babylonians did the Israelites a favor by destroying their capital, smashing the Temple of God, murdering ¾ of the citizens and dragging the rest 600 miles away to the Rivers of Babylon is, well breathtaking. I don’t think even evil Adolph had the chutzpa to go that far. In addition, archaeological evidence suggests the scope of the Babylonian Captivity was greatly exaggerated in the Bible, and that, in fact, the Jews who were forced to Babylon (and their descendants) were much better off in Babylon than in Jerusalem. Archaeological digs in the area of ancient Babylon have turned up evidence that that the Jews in the Babylonian exile were not enslaved, but in fact led comfortable, upper-middle-class lives.
