Maybe this is an easy answer but I'm dumb so help. The principle of ahimsa or non-violence in Hinduism / Jainism / Buddhism is pretty foundational, but nothing of the sort exists for Abrahamic religions. There are variations in both groups (e.g. the non-violence in Jainism and Buddhism is a bit more extreme than Hinduism; biblical texts have commandments to not murder but also prescribed ways to carry out wars, etc.) but in general I think saying the non-violence of the 'Eastern' religions is far ahead of the Abrahamic ones.
I've read it might be that a monotheistic aspect kind of exalts your own group vs. others and that might be a reason. Maybe there are early splienter groups in Judaism / Christianity that were really non-violent that I just don't know about, but that just did not become popular for some reason. Hinduism is more non-violent than earlier Vedic religions, so maybe it's just a reverse of that. If not this though, are there societal or cultural things that explain this?
