Without addressing those issues no humane response will be had either way. Although trying to address them doesn't seem to help either. But the "both sides need to stop fighting" line doesn't work for me. One has to take into consideration the power imbalances and systemic segregation involved. Under some circumstances I don't think it is at all immoral to act in violence- I do think it becomes a self perpetuating firestorm that takes on a life all of its own, but that doesn't mean that the adversaries are by necessity equally culpable for causing it, or that they struggle on equal moral footing.
