When you say “both camps support” you imply (a) that there are only two camps, and everyone is a member of one or other and (b) that they have reached agreement — and therefore we are done. Perhaps you don’t mean it, but it’s a technique some people use to try to give the appearance of an agreement, and given the sensitive nature of the subject, I’d prefer you not do that.

Is this the colloquial use of the word "you" to mean "one"? As in "when 
one says 'both camps support'"?

Or are you making a claim that *I* used the phrase "both camps support" 
or something equivalent?

I think if you go looking for something you could quote directly, 
anything that I've said on the topic is far more nuanced than that. But 
I suspect you already know that, since you oddly chose not to quote me 
at all: it's easier to apply a strawman logical fallacy to parody my 
position if you don't provide contrary evidence at the same time.
