Sorry, this just doesn't check out for me and seems morally very wrong...
By your same logic, any group of people who are a part of a nation that at one point in time broadly support a terrible act or actors aren't innocent victims if something terrible happens to them.
Seems like a slippery slope. By that same logic, thousands of Americans aren't just 'innocent victims' because our country has supported terrorism of other nations at some point in our history...
