catch yourself:
I didn’t say that the ends always justify the means. But they sometimes do. See for example the ???? ??? on the Rambam in Hilchos Sefer Torah 10:11 where he says:
???? ??”? ????? ??? ???? ??? ??? ??? ?????? ????? ???? ??? ??? ???? ?????? ??? ??”? ???? ??? ?????? ??? ??????? ?”?
He is saying that the ends (saving the Sefer Torah from being taken by the non-Jew with all that will come from that) justifies the means
(????? ????). He is saying this misevara and he’s using the sevara to argue with the Bach. He also adds there:
?????? ?????? ?????? ????? ??? ?????
which is also the ends justifying the means.
