The doctrine is one of defense. This includes preemptive strikes if the enemy's deadly intent is known (Talmud, Berakhot 58a). The war of conquest against the Canaanites was not preemptive but was directly commanded in the Torah (Deuteronomy ch.7).

Who Wanted to keep Christianity as a part of Judaism?

I don't know of anybody in the Bible who wanted to keep Christianity as part of Judaism. Many people wanted to carry over elements of Judaism into Christianity. Paul's letter to the church at Galatia was written to encourage the Christians not to go back to keeping aspects of the law. After Paul had left this area, false teachers entered the churches and introduced wrong doctrine. They taught that salvation was by faith in Christ plus keeping the law. Their message was a mixture of Christianity and Judaism, of grace and law, of Christ and Moses.
