No.

The jews wanted their land, so they conveniently heard a voice from god telling them the land was theirs really, and anyone squatting on it were bad people for doing so.

They even teamed up with another canaanite tribe to pull it off, but then when they won they realised they wanted their land too. They rationalised that since they wanted their land, but couldn't take it because they were allies, the alliance was a trick, so they were justified in taking their land.

During this process they engaged in Cherem (human sacrifice) by dragging enemy civilians and POWs before alters of yahweh and cutting them to pieces.

Not a single part of their conquest had anything to do with stopping human sacrifice, any more than their conquest of Palestine is to do with stopping terrorism or their conquest of Europe is to do with ending racism. They are driven by the jewish need to control everything around them, nothing more noble or holy than that.
