I beg to disagree - hate crimes are some of the most emotional there are, and they do not get any less from being taught to hate from early years.

In the same way, if we are taught that jealousy crimes are normal and understandable, there will be more of them.

There is to me a big difference between understanding and accepting jealousy, and accepting crimes because of jealousy.
