The Hill Times
A little boy cries because his father dies, and his heart keeps pounding like the bombs. A little girl cries because her brother dies, and her tears keep falling like the bombs. Why must the children cry? Why must their tears keep falling like the bombs? To help them all, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights must never grow old, never erode, never melt, shrink or fade. It must not fail, it must prevail, it must stand the test of time. It was adopted in Paris on Dec. 10, 1948.
Article 1 of its 30 articles states: 'All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.' In Israel, in Palestine, and in many other parts of the world, the tears have been falling like bombs for far too long.
