Where did God order genocide? Name one spot where God told Israel to kill people due to their race. Instead, He ordered them to kill people, entire nations, for quite a few good reasons

Uh, the Amalikites?<cough><cough>
I'm sure Hitler, Hutu leaders, Pol Pot, et al all thought they had "a few good reasons" too. What's your point? "A few good reasons" doesn't excuse killing entire nations.
I wonder how many times in history god(s) have given good reasons to wage war against others. What are the good reasons your god gives? Also, I'm not sure if there is an actual difference between "ethnic group" and "race"; I've always understood them to by synonomous. Is there a difference I'm not aware of? (don't mean to sound critical, just geniuinely curious)
Somehow, I don't think either group really ever cared about the semantics when they were having their babies sliced from their wombs and dashed against the rocks.
That´s genocide, and what good reasons?, and what was Moses SO MEAN to make an exception on virgins JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE GOOD FOR THEIR OWN PLEASURE?. Yes, there has been genocide, and only for their race.
Well that is true. Genocide was not ordered specifically because of race, but rather on the basis of religious beliefs.
Much as I would like to point out to this idiot the definition of genocide , I think his last sentence speaks for itself:
American Heritage Dictionary: genocide n. The systematic and planned extermination of an entire national, racial, political or ethnic group. God ordered the Israelites to commit wholesale slaughters, or he committed them himself. In brief, the OT god was a homicidal maniac.
He ordered them to kill people, entire nations, for quite a few good reasons
As I recall god had different rules for people outside of 'his people'. The name gentile was used to describe them, and there were laws that affected people differently based upon this. You could even sell sick, injured animals and roadkill to folks outside your own little world. So god's 'good reasons' amount to being born in the wrong skin, the wrong part of the world, the wrong time in history, the wrong parents, the wrong religion and burying their shit the wrong way. Wow, great reasons.
"Where did God order genocide?"
Let's just see here... "He ordered them to kill people, entire nations [...]"
Yup. That would be where.
