Again I agree with you 100%. But I don’t have it in me to assign blame to those who don’t have it in them to kill, and who would rather be killed than live with having killed.
I’m not interested in assigning blame, but if someone would literally rather be tortured to death than shoot an active pogromist because of potential guilt over the death of the pogromist, we don’t necessarily need to treat that as an essential element of their nature, and I would argue that such a totalizing aversion to defending yourself and your whole community is probably the less healthy attitude.
