"Genocide of Innocent Children"

As we read in this verse, several questions must be raised.

1) Why are all the male children being killed? They have done nothing wrong.

2) How did they know which women were virgin and who weren't?

This verse also seems to contradict the claim that Moses was a very meek man, unless killing children and violating women is part of meekness.

I forgot to add the reference to Moses' meekness. Please see Numbers 12:3.
