The question is not whether two wrongs make a right, but whether the first wrong will provoke someone to commit the second wrong. The argument may be 'horseshit' as a moral justification according to nearly everyone, but a small proportion of any oppressed group is likely to see it differently. We should not condone violence against civilians, but we also should not condone the oppression of any group, and we should recognise that oppression can lead to violence, without saying that oppression is a justification for violence.
