Killing one person to save billion, is still killing one person, it's a morally ambiguous choice. It's the point of the trolley problem, there is no good or bad option. The point is to show you that people who kill, no matter the reason, are on the same violence scale as all of us.
Killing is the action, the context is everything else, from education, to situational datas. Thus, trying to exclude these people from the human scale has only one result: It will make you oblivious to the contextual reasons that push these people to act the way they do
Yes.
Ok so let me give you an analogy:
Can you magically speak Chinese if the only thing you learned or heard in your life is English?
Anti-war movies are extremely rare.

Hm... yes it is..
Which mean dehumanizing the person enough so that we consider that their sacrifice is worth more than their life.
This is also a case where we see the lives of people as additive. Meaning that two people worth more than one. This can lead to some pretty fucked up shit.
Personnally, I would not be able to make that choice unless there is someone who count more than anything else in the other Billion. I absolutely refuse to put the live of a billion person against one on a balance. I consider - personnally - this act as non ethical.
Now.. if someone in the bunch are my loved one.. my choice would become irrational.

In my mind, a colony is a colony no matter how you slice it up…even if Israel agreed to cede the West Bank, there’s enough evidence to conclude that a two-state solution simply won’t work in the long run. Obviously, at my core, I don’t WANT my people to always be nomads, but we’ve just taken over previously established land for 80 years, they can’t reasonably sell a sob story about needing a consistent base while driving out the natives 
I think an unpleasant fact of life is that such decisions do need to be made.
you’re French, right? Imagine what would have happened if you let the Germans conquer your country in World War II.
not all those German soldiers were Nazis, not all of them were bad people. Many of them were just ordinary folks roped into a war by a corrupt and evil government.
but your ancestors still needed to kill those men for you to have the freedoms you currently have.
