Al-Nakba Awarness Project discourages signage equating a “parity of suffering” or promoting “dialogue” and prefer those supporting the Palestinian call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) as the late Stephane Hessel, Holocaust survivor, co-author of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights himself endorsed.
