Hating cancer doesn't mean you want to murder the person who has cancer.

Saying you hate bigots does not mean you want revenge on them. Some sure, but most no. The sane simply want the bigots to stop being bigots. 

If you have to physically defend yourself from a Nazi or KKK member in the moment, sure do it. But just like Japan and Germany, once the fight is over, no, you don't treat them the way they wanted to treat you.

Great analogy.  Shy
