Commentators highlight that the cry against Edom is so sharp because they were relatives of Israel, descended from Esau, Jacob's brother. Instead of helping, they maliciously cheered on Jerusalem's destruction, urging the Babylonians to "Rase it, rase it." This deep betrayal from a "brother" nation added a profound layer of pain to Israel's suffering.
