In the story of Moses, the pharaoh kills all the Jew's firstborns. God later kills all his people's firstborns, as well as his son. Isn't this kind of and ear for and ear and an eye for and eye?

Circumstances? I know they were slaves, but days later when Moses wrights the commandments, he specifically say 'No Killing', i think it's the fifth one.

Yes, it absolutely is. As is so much of the first testament of the bible. It seems hypocritical to us because we're used to new testament attitudes, which are different because of Jesus. I mean, just read through some of the laws in Leviticus, they're all about getting even. Eventually those laws are replaced with the death of Jesus (for the most part).
The way I like to look at it is that what happens in the old testament physically happens spiritually in the new testament. So if the same scenario happened today, as it does in places where genocide is happening, the consequences would be spiritual. That's how I interpret it anyway
