Jonah wanted God to punish the Ninevites for being such a horrible nation, but when the Ninevites asked for forgiveness and God spares Nineveh. Johan felt that Nineveh was beyond saving, he thought they were heathens and that the Jews shouldn't have to share their God with someone different then him and his culture.
