Defiance- Were their actions justifiable?

       In the movie Defiance, the brothers killed the people that killed their family as revenge. I think this is completely justifiable. The brothers killed just a few people, but those few people would have killed hundreds of Jews  for no reason but for who they were. It helped them cope with the death of their family, while saving the lives of more Jewish people.
       While in the woods, they were also stealing food from other people. This is also justifiable. They were not able to get jobs because they were Jewish. Since they didn't have jobs, they didn't have money to get food. Stealing a little bit of food from a few people to feed a bunch is not that bad when the people's lives are at risk from starvation.
       Over-all, most of the actions in this movie have some sort of justification behind them. Whether it's risking a few lives to save a few hundred, or taking a little bit of food to feed the mouths of many, there is always a reason for what the brothers did.
