Daniel Pearl To Be Remembered With Holocaust Victims

[Firecat]

Pearl's name will be added to Miami Beach's Holocaust Memorial Wall during Yom Hashoah -- the annual time of remembrance. It will be the first time a non-Holocaust victim has been remembered there.
Judea Pearl, 70, Daniel Pearl's father, will speak at the ceremony.

"Of course he was not a victim of the Holocaust," he told The Miami Herald. But "the same forces that killed my grandparents in Auschwitz, the forces of hatred, are still operating in our world

C'mon now, this is ridiculous. You can't add his name to the wall because he wasn't a victim of the holocaust. Will the name of the victims of Lockerbie be added to any 9/11 memorial? Or Iraq war dead to the Vietnam memorial wall?

Yeah, this is just really confusing.

I agree with the above views.

Agreed Firecat... and I don't think the Nazis and Al Qaeda (along with other Islamist groups) are all that similar.

"There wasn't one individual that was in opposition," Braman said. "Daniel really died for basically one reason, and basically the same reason 6 million others did, and that was for the crime of being a Jew."

Same reason? I thought he was actually nosing around in other peoples buisness.

Ya, reporters always investigating current events and telling stories of current events and legendarily getting in the way. If only we could have cut the heads of all reporters long ago... oh the corporate crime, corruption, child labor, conditions in slums and prisons that we could have blind, deaf, and dumb to.
