I do think that genocide is unacceptable in any shape or form. No I do not believe that Genocide can be just. I am positive that others think differently about it. One example and the most popular example used are Hitler and the Nazis. Obviously the Nazis felt that genocide is just because it was just in their philosophy. The Nazis felt like they are better than the Jewish race. They downgraded and dehumanized the Jews. In the beginning there were multiple reasons to why the Germans wanted to end the Jewish people but eventually the only reason for genocide was because of hate. Personally I think killing and murder is wrong itself. Genocide being considered just in any form is out of the question. There are some problems with the just war theory.

Who is considered to be the “legitimate authority?” The government would be the first to call themselves “legitimate authority”. Can major groups within a nation call themselves authority?

Number two in the just war theory states that “There must be a just cause for going to war”. A government, an organization, and the people themselves can find many reasons for going to war or starting genocide. Everybody is different so everybody thinks differently about the topic. The views of man are good and evil. According to Thomas Aquinas, war must be the last resort. I cannot agree with that statement because I wish that war or genocide is never a possibility. I do think that if genocide is a possibility, then it must be the last resort. Every option should be done to avoid genocide and then if it comes to that then so be it. In my opinion, nothing can out outweigh a man’s life. The heads of governments or leaders of organizations do not seem to think the same way. The people who are calling the shots are
