Starving infants is morally justifiable if it's possible to make a rocket from their food?

[gsinclair]

Preventing the entry of something that can be made into a weapon is justified, yes. If you want to call that “starving children”, that’s up to you.

[falconroar]

Withholding food from children results in children starving. It’s not semantics.

[margalabargala]

Only in the same way that pointing at a starving infant as a prop is a moral justification for using food meant for the infant instead to manufacture weapons.
