Xavier is in the "peace and no one gets genocided" camp, and still gets genocided. Magneto is right and is acting in self-defense.

Magneto also has a tendency to shoot first and target civilians, including civilians sympathetic to his cause. He's a sympathetic figure and he has a point, but he's only a hero half the time for a reason.

Well, yeah, he's on the right side, so writers have to make him do objectively unforgivable things for seemingly no reason in order to ensure the reader doesn't sympathize with someone challenging the status quo.

Yep, gets genocided by the people Magneto made popular.
