There’s a good argument to be made against Ben Shapiro from the Posuk in Tehillim which says:
אשרי שיאחז וניפץ את עולליך על הסלע
In English: Praised is one who grasps their children and smashes their heads against a rock.
Meaning, it’s praiseworthy to kill baby Babylonians because of what they would grow up to do. But not all Meforshim understand it this way, and it’s definitely an exception to the general rule of באשר הוא שם as we see by Yishmael.
