DEAD CIVILIAN REMEMBRANCE DAY

earthstar | 29.01.2006 09:22 | Anti-militarism | Ecology | Globalisation | World

Decades ago, only 10 per cent of civilians were killed by wars. Today political powers take us into wars and over 90 per cent of civilians are killed. Even the Nazi's counted the Jews that were killed yet in Iraq and Palestine no one counts the civilian dead. Should this site or people on it remember them?

Would anyone working on this or putting forward any ideas for this?

Remembering the Dead

Sorry to be picky but I think you mean that of those that are killed 90% are civilians, not "90 per cent of civilians are killed".

The Jewish people have their holocaust day and they are entitled to have that if they wish to. However I think that the best way to remember these people is to oppose the current wars that continue to kill people, day after bloody day. Once they are stopped then you can think about whether to have a 'special' day for them.
