You're the judge. What do you do and why?

I have no real idea what Sebastian is saying, but I think you’re really afield here? One might ask if the General was justified in something more limited, say economic, based upon actions. Extermination might be a bit much.
It is interesting though, your hypo, what if after escaping these same camps some of these gypsies set up a country, and neighbors started trying to exterminate them. Would you support them shooting back? In other similar fact patterns you do not iirc?
