They happened to be of a different race, most of the time, but the point is their faith (or lack there of). There were times unbelieving Israelis were killed, punished, and what not. And believing foreigners would also covert at times and not be punished. Those who place faith in God are rewarded, those who do not are punished. It's that simple. That God has a preference toward those of his creation that trust, love, respect, and obey Him is not surprising.
Whether you're committing genocide against a people based upon the color of their skin or their personal metaphysical beliefs, it's still not right! I cannot see how people can simultaneously condemn genocide and believe in the Bible. Genocide is bad, and the Bible is false. This is simple logic folks.

Let A be "The God of the Bible is a moral being."
Let B be "The Bible is true."
Let C be "Ordering people to commit genocide is something moral beings can do."

If B, then A.
If not A, then not B.
If A, then C.
If not C, then not A.
Therefore, if not C, then not B.
