Technically, Ilia is going to turn the Belladonnas into sacrifices, but not for the right reasons, much less the greater good. Well, I was talking about intentions. Ilia herself says that killing the Belladonnas is necessary because they "push the Faunus back". And she is the one who talks about sacrifices "for the greater good". She doesn't actually talk about " turning the Belladonnas into sacrifices ", she describes her own intentions here. That is what the Albain brother told her, and that is what she's telling to herself to push herself commiting murder. In fact, it looks more like "I don't want to hurt people - but I have to get over myself and just do it, that is the sacrifice I make".

I just wanted to say, that Ilia was convinced to murder Ghira and Kali with little trouble, but I don't think that she could obey the same order if it was about Blake - or anyone else close to her. That's what I call hypocrisy.

Really, for now I even prefer Adam to Ilia. At least that guy doesn't try to justify his actions and look better than he is. He also doesn't try to hide behind the facade of "greater good". He is a monster - but not a hypocrite.
