>Taking into account the fact the boys could become revengeful, it was nessisary to liquidate them
They could be revengeful out of reason because they were unaware of the sins their parents had committed. Or have they been labelled as sinners for the simple fact that their parents were sinners, rendering them unfit for repentance? They were born into an environment of sinful people with little comprehension of the impacts of their behavior. And what about the children who have not yet indulged in those practices? Those who are yet to commit those sins but are still put on the butcher list.
>Non-virgin women were sinful.
What if they were raped? It was commanded that all of them be slaughtered, so not killing the raped women would be against Moses' wishes.
>Different times, different needs
Moral relativism. If we accept genocide as justifiable based on temporal or cultural context, we risk undermining any objective moral standard. Would we apply that same logic to modern genocides or atrocities committed in the name of ideology or religion?

Evendoe it's literally stated right in the book that God had commanded them.
