For most people, sympathy and empathy for other humans ends when those humans themselves show no sympathy or empathy for a group of other humans.

In practice this is an interesting problem to tackle though. One can completely denounce and shame people for their actions or ideologies, while at the same time showing some sympathy/empathy in wanting to address the root causes of why those people are like they are.
