You embarass yourself, what was said plainly to you was this : only after the huge impact of Hellenist philosophy & also Babylonian wisdom does the Jewish mindset finally become more pacifistic, matures & philosophical. That comes in the personage of the great sage Rabbi Hillel The Elder, the massive influence of his teachings. Hillel was born & raised in Babylon and was famous author of two famous sayings both which exemplify the ethos of reciprocity or Golden Rule, the House of Hillel represents a huge seachange in the mindset of the Jew.

Your Religion & the Jews are pretty much one & the same, because both owe most all their ideas to the Hellenes & Egyptians with also large borrowing from the Persians Those two sayings above are absolutely Hellene in character, without ONE shadow of doubt Hellenist inspired

(1) "If I am not for myself who is for me? And being for my own self, what am 'I'? And if not now, when?"

and

(2) "That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole Torah the rest is the explanation; go and learn."
