To understand the above logic Tosfas in Kidushin 39,2 starting words machshovo, explains that by Jews a good thought is counted as action but a bad thought is not whereas by the goyim the opposite is true a good thought is not counted as action but a bad thought is. Why? The Maharal explains that the atzmius of a Jew is good, so if he thinks of doing good, he will convert into action but bad he might not whereas a goy is the reverse. According to this, since a Jew does not want to do an aveiroh but the yetzer hara influences him, it would not be just, when the Jew wants to do a mitzva to force on him an averoh.
