"The concept of genocide applies only when there is an actualized intent, however successfully carried out, to physically destroy an entire group (as such a group is defined by the perpetrators)" (Steven T. Katz, The Holocaust in Historical Perspective, Vol. 1, 1994).

Sam woke up, feeling like her head had been it with a table, which it probably had been. Her vision cleared only slowly, and she began to perceive that she wasn't on earth any longer, but in a vessel, only after several seconds of dumbfounded confusion. It seemed to be an Al-Kash from the design, and she briefly wondered whatever Goa'uld had made it to earth undetected this time. Then she remembered the NID-or-whatever-they-were-incident, Osiris, and her failure at preventing to be captured once aboard the ship. So, whatever the crazed agents had decided to do this time, she would probably be a front- row witness. She tried to adjust herself to a bearable position, when the door slid open and one of her captors entered. He obviously would not leave out the opportunity to boast out about their genius and the totally failsafe plan they had envisaged for now, which made him an even worse cliché of a 007-wannabe-I'll-save-the-world-so-I-am-not-evil evil guy. Joined by Hoskins, the bothersome head of the cell, they started the preparations on what Sam had guessed was their plan after finding the lab and the rockets. But when she tried to reason with them, to point out just how many innocents and allies of Earth would die, she earned only sneers. The rocket was prepared for launch, filled with the symbiote poison deadly for anyone being a host to one in one form or the other. Her arguments remained unheard, were ridiculed, and there was nothing Sam could do to prevent the death of thousands, killed by one small vial in a rocket, instant death send through a stolen Stargate. As much as she knew the Goa'uld were the evil creatures they were, and no matter how many she had fighted, killed, or planned to fight and kill at the moment, this was wrong. This was not the maybe justifiable action to kill one individual tyrant, as in when Damon sneaked towards Dyonis, the knife hidden in his clothing, attempting to free the town of the tyrant.
And this was not the attempt to free a people of an evil dominator, as when a remorseful and doubtful group planned the murder not of the person but of the function the person represented.
This was murder of innocents because of a fanatic belief coupled with total lack of moral and remorse and suitable technical abilities - the icy result of ignorance and technique.
When the rocket was launched, she desperately called: "But this is genocide! "
