...this shows that neither side was innocent of torture.
No, we don't condone it. We condemn it!
Yet, to selectively view one country's record (e.g. Israel or the US) would be a hypocritical condemnation. To claim that there is anyone who didn't react to torture with anger would be pretty false.
Did the Palestinians kill Jewish immigrants for sport? Did the Ottoman Empire banish Jews who came to settle the land, or was Arafat's PLO a peace loving mission. We have to own up to facts all around.
