IN MEMORIAN FOR RIAD HAMAD AN ARAB AMERICAN WHO WAS PERSECUTEDFORASSISTANCE TO THE CHILDREN OF PALESTINE

Kindly forward the communication which is below ,
from Japan to the family of Riad Hamad and to the

Palestinian Children’s Welfare Fund.

I first got in touch with Riad Hamad when
I saw the appeal for the Palestinian Children’s
Welfare Fund hoping to send some relief from
India . Thereafter I read the communications
on Palestinian handicrafts available where the proceeds
would to be earmarked for PCWF and the need
for medicines and diverse items for children
in Palestine .

Thereafter, when a Japanese hostage
was taken by criminal elements in Iraq to defame
the resistance and an appeal was issued from
Japan from people I knew which I circulated,
he responded from far away America, as he knew
that these were criminal elements desiring to defame
the people of Iraq and we were touched by his
communication.

Till the very end he remained committed to
the welfare of the children of Palestine and
and against the war in Iraq.

There are not very many people
who forced to live across oceans
as an immigrant , continue to
work selflessly for those left
behind , those suffering , those
truamatised and for this he
was kept under surveillance
to silence the suffering voice
of Palestine suffering atrocities
just as much as was inflicted
by Nazi Germany with weapons
supplied by his adopted homeland
the United States of America to
Israel, the country of chosen people,
all the rest of the world are not
chosen.

I did not know there exists
a God which selects some and
discards others .That permits
whole societies and peoples to
be persecuted so that others may
steal their land and resources.
That he permits some to live
off the back breaking labours
of others, while others go from
one conspiracy to another against
unsuspecting humanity that he permits
profiteering and monopolies over
food, water, fuel and housing.

That he permits the innocent like
Riad Hamad to be persecuted for
helping the weak and helpless.

In my own country there
is a doctor, a pediatrician
jailed because he was Gandhian
and helped the tribal people
and the poor. The law enforcement
authorities said he was a terrorist
a threat to the State, whereas his
mother said that from childhood
he desired to serve the poor and weak .
So he is in jail.

Billions are spent on worship all
over the world including constructing
elaborate places of worship , including by
the Pope among others, whereas Christ and other
Prophets including Buddha walked
barefoot on earth and shunned
profiteers.

Yet there are people who state
that it is God who has given them
the right to take away the land
and homes of the people of
Palestine and occupy Iraq
and Afghanistan among other
countries and profit from oil
and heroin even as the people
of these countries starve
and famine conditions prevail,
and bodies killed by death
squads are picked up every
day.

And Securities become paper,
while those who issued it
become billionaires.

From your e mail I learnt that originally
Riad Hamad was from Beirut .
Heroic Beirut !!!!!

Riad Hamad lived as a Gandhian and
died a martyr as much as the
millions who have been killed
in Palestine ,in Iraq in Lebanon ,
persecuted by criminal elements within
the society he lived and worked in with
alliances with the criminal elements of
other societies, which misuse state power
to target honest citizens, to criminilise society
in the name of protecting the state.

What do we call those who terrorize
the innocent ??????

It is time we profiled from country
to country the individuals targeted and
the whole societies targeted for plunder
turn by turn .
