At the end of every war, before there can be lasting peace and real progress, there must come surrender. Arguably, genocide is another way to end a war, but this is arguable because true genocide is difficult to achieve, just ask the Jews. In the course of our brief history on this planet, several societies and civilizations have tried to exterminate them, and yet they still exist and even thrive. For genocide to truly end a conflict, it must be completed, and such an attempt is brutal and tends to work counter to our natural human sympathies for others, gaining allies and converts to the oppressed group, and further complicating the goal of ending the conflict.
