I don't think you fully understood what's going on.
Actually the punishment is due to the fact that those families were highly supportive of those actions and even advocated them, and considering it is an active hate-speech calling for violence and murder of Jews I actually find punishing them quite reasonable- openly calling for the murder of people should indeed be a crime- and as we know already from History- hate-speech tends to turn to hate-action at some point.
Basically, it's an action against hate-speech, and as we already know hate speech might have severe consequences on human lives.
