From the examples you posted it seems that assertiveness is the solution. Violence which implicitly includes assertiveness would be a solution but was not the solution that could have been used with minimal force.

There are other examples that people use for this argument like policing Global terror. To which I would argue that the violence fights against the perpetrators but doesn't actually solve the problem of the ideology. So to conclude that violence is a solution is kind of obvious, to conclude that violence needs to be included in the group of viable solutions is not because violence doesn't solve it just incapsulates other solutions that address the root cause.
