Provide cite to this “main charge”. The Pentateuch is clear that the land was given to Abraham and his descendants. After their 400+ years in bondage in Egypt, they returned and reclaimed their land. They weren’t encouraged to kick the Canaanites out because of child sacrifice; (although, that was certainly a practice that some were engaged in.) In any case, the OT doesn’t paint a picture of the Hebrews being some force of social justice, ridding that particular parcel of geography of some vile practice... indeed, Solomon ended up erecting shrines to Moloch, Manessah (a Jewish king) sacrificed his own son to Moloch, as did King Ahaz, and the Jew’s tendency to fall into periods of child sacrifice and idolatry is recounted time and time again throughout the OT. In other words, the vice of infanticide wasn’t described in the OT as exclusive to the Canaanites. In short, I think you are somewhat confused... clearly, child sacrifice is bad, but it wasn’t the ‘main’ reason — or even a minor reason - for the conquest. Cite something specific if I’m mistaken.
