What words exactly do I have to use to explain to you that leaving Omelas is a metaphor and the story is not saying that you should wash your hands, because I'm honestly at the end of my rope here.

To me, leaving Omelas reads as a metaphor for turning your back on a bad thing rather than being part of the bad thing. Rather than benefiting from it. Which is good! It's a good thing to do! But a *better* thing to do is to try and stop the bad thing.
And if the only response to "Why not stop the bad thing" is "But that's hard and what if they keep doing it anyway", the problem here is not my understanding of metaphor but your life philosophy.
