This is an annual march where thousands of Israelis march through the streets of Jerusalem chanting "death to Arabs" and "may your village burn", and Palestinians hide out of fear of being lynched.
First, this isn't a comm about politics so k. Second, for example the last time American Nazis were this bold the KKK was lynching black people in the streets. So, you know, maybe the worst of the worst not facing immediate universal backlash is indicative of something.
Well then you should know better than that. The last time you had Nazis marching around unopposed saying "we'll kill you all" it was a prelude to the Holocaust. A march like this is only one accident or whim removed from becoming a pogrom.
The issue isn't that it is inconvenient, but that it may warp perception of reality and create a climate where conflict is justified for the enemy is clearly a bunch of savages that must be stopped.

... A potentially insular case isn't enough to establish a pattern without context. Op provided context.
Nazi terror attacks semi regular here. There was a particularly horrifying attack in Magdeburg a couple years back.
No no, we will not hide information because it's inconvenient
