God doesn't order genocide anywhere in the Bible. Read the story of Sodom and Gommorah. God says for the sake of 5 righteous people, he will not destroy Sodom. God's judgements are aimed at the wickedness of the canaanites, not the color of their skin. Because they are evil people "their destable deeds" not because of their skin color, God destroys them.
The Bible does not sanction genocide. What it does sanction is judgement on wicked people that God personally considers to deserve punishment. This is similar to what the allied nations did in world war 2 when they fought against Hitler and the Japanese and killed many, many civilians, knowing they would kill civilians in a war, or what nations do when they punish criminals.
God is interested in punishing sin, not arbitrarily killing people.
