38. I don't agree with the guy's actions or logic at all, but I can understand his misguided logic in part

It's the logic that says if you kill baby Hitler you stop WWII and the Holocaust, so that murder is justified by the greater good in that one murder is better than millions. Where it immediately falls apart internally is that these two people don't fit the description of a unitary actor that could stop the disaster in Gaza. Then there's that the great man of history theory that any one individual could do that at all is pretty silly, and that the disaster in Gaza has many responsible parties and killing these two not only isn't going to do even the slightest to stop it, it has a chance to just inflame it.
