Is it violence only when there's a bullet fired, a knife stabbing or an explosive collision?

There are plenty of ways to inflict violence on another just by way of policy and letting extremists have their way with no constraints.

Would you say the millions upon millions of people who died under Hitler's policies aren't comparable to the "lots of real people" of 9/11 just because it wasn't Hitler himself firing all the bullets and setting off all the gas chambers? All violence can be traced back from the direct perpetrator to the one who gave the order, and both are accountable for it.
