"Dignity" day

Great move by Occupy NS, but I can't help but comment on the hypocrisy of he the Atlantic Jewish Council's so-called Dignity Day. This Council's main advocacy is to support Israel unconditionally and to shut down -- especially on universities -- any frank discussion of what Israel is doing in its occupation of Palestinian territories and through its racist laws affecting Palestinian citizens of Israel (20% of the population).
When do Palestinians get their dignity?
