Violence is violence. It is not pro- or anti- anything.

Do you really want a more redundant response? Ok, here it is:


violence
behavior

violence, an act of physical force that causes or is intended to cause harm. The damage inflicted by violence may be physical, psychological, or both. Violence may be distinguished from aggression, a more general type of hostile behaviour that may be physical, verbal, or passive in nature.

Violence is a relatively common type of human behaviour that occurs throughout the world. People of any age may be violent, although older adolescents and young adults are most likely to engage in violent behaviour.

And if I recall your absurd talking point, it had something to do with being shot dead by IDF. Not IDF soldiers being present in London.

Of course I know what you were talking about. I can read.
