Ishtar, we must discriminate between individuals and their actions. I can even learn to hate the actions, while not hating the individuals who perform them. There is good and evil in everyone, and often those who commit evil believe they are doing good. Often the worst things happen out of those with the best intentions. We must never forget the old saying, "there but with the grace of God, go I...}

But, in regards to the original point, hatred cannot be met with more hatred. It should be met with understanding instead. That is the only way we can hope to reach one another.
