The distinction is that everyone has a right to defense, not to "never get punched no matter what". If someone is running at you with a spear, then you're entitled to defend yourself before the spear actually impales you. The same goes for credible threats to genocide your people.

One does not need to be a pacifist in order to respect the rights of others.
