There's a legal definition for "the intent to commit a crime"[1]. (Even if it's not a legal definition in a particular jurisdiction, certainly it's a concept that can be understood.) It seems to me that we can apply that question of intent to the individual when it comes to the crime of genocide.
The world is full of nuance and you should be cautious when a statement lacks said nuance.
