Samuel 15:3
"Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass."

Deuteronomy 20:16
"However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you. 18 Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin against the Lord your God."

Any questions?

That isn't genocide although William Tecumseh Sherman supposedly briefly entertained the idea of wiping out indigenous peoples in toto until word reached Washington and he nearly lost his career. I say supposedly because it turned out the press had distorted what Sherman had actually said, the gist of which was that he was considering a total war approach against the remaining resisting tribes similar to what he had done against the Confederacy in his March to the Sea during the Civil War.

Sherman's total war concept, if applied, would've been brutal, even so. Had Sherman followed through, there would be no reservations, no pretense of autonomy. Your people would've been erased as a distinct cultural entity. The overall affect would've been similar to genocide, but it wouldn't have been an extermination either, which is what genocide is.

Speaking of extermination, the Commanche were big on liquidating opposing tribes. Going back further, the Aztecs would depopulate whole regions to feed their very hungry gods, which is why the Spaniards found so many allies when they sought to conquer them.

I'm not minimizing the wrongs done to your people. Those whites who claimed Christianity should've behaved more like Christians, not conquerors. I'd tell them so but they're all fucking dead and so are the Indians they conquered.

Justified genocide is real and you are all being contrarians for sake of contrarianism by saying otherwise
