"In World War I, 15 percent of all casualties were civilians.  In World War II, 50 percent of all casualties were civilians.  In 2004, 90 percent of casualties in war are civilians."  But who are these casualties?  Do you know?  Have you ever thought about it?  Between September 29, 2000, and March 7, 2003, 429 children under the age of eighteen were killed in Israel.  In Three Wishes, children living in danger in Israel tell us their lives, their fears and their dreams for tomorrow.
