I am not entirely sure why you would quote that when it is a terrible message. there is a difference between not seeking out conflict and refusing to even defend yourself, even against a clearly evil opposition. the way these lemurs are currently thinking is incredibly wrong and I am glad they are corrected in the next episode.
the notion that you should simply roll over and show your belly to an invading force for the sake of avoiding fighting is idiotic. there is a reason groups that would do such a thing do not exist, they are immediately destroyed

"What difference does it make who started the war and who only wants to end it? No side is free of fault. It takes two to fight."
I quoted this back when watching the Avatar reaction back in Book 2 in the Library episode, when the librarian spirit argued with the Gaang over war and morality then as well.

Ayla Secura is one the Jedi we see die by Order 66 in Revenge of the Sith, she was on the planet Felucia when the Clones she was in charge of shot her from behind.
And as you can guess.... she is one of the most popular characters in certain sites for Cultured men and women.
Also... to adress the people who criticize the Lurmen... here is a fragment of my absolute favorite Star Wars Essay:
"In the Lurmen we are given a perspective that fundamentally contradicts the heroic image of the republic that has thus far been presented to us, they don't see the republic and the jedi as the near universal good that they purport themselves to be... but instead they're seen as being just as destructive and violent as the separatists. The jedi protests that they're fighting for freedom but to the Lurmen... liberty is not worth the cost of armed struggle, in spite of the irrational extreme to which their pacifist philosophy is taken... we know that there is a grain of truth in what the Lurmen leader said, the republic and the jedi could hardly claim moral superiority when as we see an increasing frequency as the show goes on... they commit many of the same atrocities as the separatists".
Dave Filoni, the showrunner of The Clone Wars also said this in an Interview:
"We show these different points of view that kind of compromise the jedi... or show them in a way that we're not familiar with. I thought the Lurmen were a really good way to start introducing this theme and it really puts Ayla Secura on the spot, it really puts ahsoka on the spot.... they think they're fighting on the side of good and here they have to meet a character and they have to be confronted by the idea that well maybe you're not".
The real discussion here is about how the Lurmen start to introduce the idea on the show of the Jedi and the republic not really being "the good guys", and yes... the absolute pacifism of the Lurmen leader is foolish and even harmful... but the main theme during this small arc is to put the "good guys" side on the spot, which is something i think a lot of fans just gloss over.
