Waste of time, the Dalai Lama should encourage people who want peace to take up arms against people who want war. That is truly the war of the pacifists!
Hatred never ceased by more hatred, even if it seems to do so for the moment, eventually karmic debts still have to be paid when the causes and conditions ripen.

Not stopping the hatred by any means possible will increase your karmic debt.

What you're saying makes no sense.
Buddha: "Not by hatred is hatred appeased: hatred is appeased by nonhatred; this is an eternal law"

人家到她那裡拿æ�±è¥¿ï¼Œæ²’錢付,ä¸�è¦�緊,她就布施給人家。所以,她往生的時候,鄰居都å“äº†ï¼Œé€™å°±æ˜¯å¹³å¸¸ä¿®å–„å› ï¼Œè‡¨çµ‚æ™‚æœ‰é€™éº¼å¤šäººå�—感動,那是善果。她走的時候全身柔軟,走得那麼安詳自在,ç�«åŒ–時有這麼多èˆ�利,這都是瑞相,這是佛法三轉法輪的「å�šè‰è½‰ã€�。
