Despite the claims of Christians and post-modernists, mercy is not Hashem’s main goal. Judaism is based on perfecting the world, and toward that end sometimes nastiness and even cruelty are permissible or necessary:
Brit milah is necessary to create a connection with Hashem.
Jews need not be vegetarians for fear of harming animals.
Even killing humans is sometimes permissible.
