I do not see your point. Your definition of relativism is incorrect. If we followed your definition, we would never defend ourselves against attack under any circumstances because it would be "relativist" to take a life in one situation and not another. This is not "situational ethics", it is just logic. Situational ethics is compromising a fundamental principle. The conquest of Canaan never did.

Are you saying that killing toddlers is sometimes morally justifiable?
