I'm just trying to translate Sebby's concepts into something concrete, but since they don't make sense to me maybe I'm not doing a good job.
I don't see how it makes a difference if an out-group is 3% or 30% responsible, whatever that means, if you can say that what the in-group did was wrong. What follows from that number?

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?

Pretty sure I am in favor of self-defense when someone is trying to exterminate you. But the use of violence must be proportionate to the threat. If some dude in Warsaw tweets that he is trying to destroy the United States, that doesn't mean we nuke Poland, nor do I think you disagree.
