    His point is that some people think killing is so wrong that they’ll actively advocate for a course of action that will kill waaaaay more people.

    You value your own moral purity over the lives of other people.

    That’s his point.

      It’s the trolley problem:

      You have Gaza on one set of tracks

      On the other, you have Gaza, Ukraine, and potentially a whole lot of other stuff including anyone that’s ever registered Democrat (they’ll be able to pry voter registrations and if they do make good on building big-ass detention facilities one doesn’t need to be all that creative to imagine what they might eventually use them for)

      I don’t really wanna know what’s on that other set of tracks

        And you’ve got harris with full control over where the trolley goes, and a working set of brakes. So its not the trolley problem at all.
