Abdel Qader?

Then who is Adu Shadi?

Right, but who can trust these guys to give their real names. Would you? That sounds like such a common name, or part of a name. As far as I can tell, Abdel-Qader is a surname not a full name. And I just googled "Abdel Qader" and got 53,000 hits.

We can't track this one down, I fear.

PIMF, Abu Shadi?

These folks are very good at staging the news.
Here's another example in Kuwait;

Kuwaiti Kids -- Death to America

So the roads were blocked, yet all the AFP, Al-Reuters and AP "stringers" (read: terrorists with nice cameras) had quick and easy access.

Hey, that's the story and the MSM is sticking with it!

His name is Abdel Qader. He claims that they couldn’t reach the building before 8 am because of the conditions of the road and the danger of being hit by the Israeli airforce. His voice is girly and his clothes look impeccably clean!

Hey, but that's almost exactly what "Abu Shadi" Jradi told AP's Kathy Gannon.

Jradi said he got the call to rush to Qana from Tyre. But he couldn't go immediately, with Israeli warplanes still overhead. "It was too dangerous," he said.

Ah, but he'll always be Green Helmet Guy to me.

Re: Gloves

He's wearing the gloves again in this video.

I did not exactly understand what EU Referendum was on about when they mentioned gloves on again off again, but it sure is an important piece of this puzzle.

Meanwhile in wacademia, St. Pancake U's commentary editor slanders Israel's Qana attack as "terrorist" "murder";

Enablers in an abusive relationship

Israel, like its surrounding nations, has acted in recent days like a brash terrorist organization with little regard for human life or compassion. For years Israel has claimed that its nation deserves the right to defend itself; however, Hezbollah too believes that it is entitled to self-defense, and so the struggle continues.

In justifying his nation's right to fight, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has said that "we will not hesitate to take the most severe measures against those who are aiming thousands of rockets and missiles against innocent civilians for one purpose - to kill them." According to Olmert's own logic, Israel is now that nation against which "severe measures" ought to be taken.

By supporting Israeli attacks both fiscally and discursively - last Thursday Bush whole heartedly stated his support for Israel's military action in Lebanon - the United States has backed itself into a corner where our country must rationalize the murder of 27 children.

Naturally, the editors have no recollection of Bubbah's 1999 bombing of China's embassy in heavily civilian Belgrade.

Nor will they acknowledge, "The IDF believes that Hizbullah explosives in the building were behind the explosion that caused the collapse."

And absolutely no mention of Lebanese reports that "Hizbullah gunmen placed a rocket launcher on the roof in Qana and brought disabled children inside, in a bid to provoke a response by the Israeli Air Force."

Instead, the Daily Emerald acts as a grotesque terrorism enabler for Hezbollah's orgy of dead baby propaganda.

Abdel Qader = Abu Shadi

Mahmoud Abbas = Abu Mazen

Same difference.

Yes, check out "Brain Surgery with Spoons", including the on-line report they link to, stating that Hizbollah shipped in handicapped kids to serve as human shields.

Mr. Green Helmet, you gotta lotta 'splainin' to do!

(Remember the mentally retarded boy the PLO tried to turn into a homicide bomber? Turns out he wasn't so dumb he was about to do that, and he surrendered to the Israelis.)

P.S. Is it just me, or does anybody else find the expression of manly and noble outrage Mr. Green Helmet assumes while waving around child corpses nauseating and infuriating?

Green Helmet Guy: The Hezbo Forrest Gump.

Darth Qader

At about the 1:35 mark on that video, there is some odd interaction between the photogs and the "rescue workers". They are carrying the "body", with two photogs in tow capturing every moment. Then the "rescue workers" suddenly set the "body" on the ground. One of them seems to redirect the cameraman as to where to stand for the next angle, takes a moment to adjust his helmet (twice), seems to strike a bit of a pose and then picks the body back up and resumes the photo opp. Then, just before the video ends, they come to a complete stop again, only seconds after having picked up the "body", as more photogs rush to them. For all the yelling and wailing, there is no urgency in those rescue workers whatsoever.

Also, when the workers with the stretcher first emerge it is from behind a building, not from the pile of rubble, where one would presume the missile supposedly dropped.

That's gotta be the most sissified voice I've ever heard in a man. Beyond metrosexual.

Kathy Gannon's account of meeting "Abu Shadi" Jradi here.

She also wrote in her lede that

Abu Shadi Jradi pulled bodies out of wreckage for hours -- two toddler girls wearing tiny gold earrings, a small boy whose pale blue pacifier still hung from his neck. Somewhere in the middle, Jradi slumped beneath a tree and wept.

No doubt at the miracle that Allah wrought in him being able to dig for hours and not get dirty, and that the baby's pacifier was immaculate even though its body was caked with dust.

Israel tries to deport four Palestinian detainees: prisoners' group

Israel offered four Palestinian detainees their freedom on condition they move abroad for three years, but the prisoners refused, a Palestinian rights group said on Thursday.
-----
Three of the men, Usama Barham, who has been jailed for five years, Ayman al-Rajai who has served 36 months, and Abdel Qader Idriss, held for 21 months, are members of militant Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), Qarata told AFP.

Lebanon sentences two Palestinians for trying to set up armed gang

Two senior officers of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement received jail terms Saturday by the Beirut military court for attempting to set up an armed gang to carry out "terrorist acts."
-----
On April 26, Abul Aynain received a two-year sentence in absentia. Two other high-ranking Fatah officials -- Taha Abdel Qader, known as Khaled Aref, and Taysir Qaddura -- were given prison terms of nine months each by the military court for "insulting the reputation of the (Lebanese) army."

Since everyone is howling about this being a war crime, shouldn't there be an outcry to get all the photographs released so that they can be used as evidence?

A war we must win, at any price

By UZI LANDAU

WE ISRAELIS also have a dream: to live in peace and quiet on our land. We want to bring our kidnapped soldiers home and remove the threat of missiles hanging over our towns and cities.

And we have no other option but to go ahead and do it: We cannot avoid the problem, as Israeli governments have done so far.

We have no choice but to win this war, decisively and at any price. It is an absolute necessity, and the only way to do it is by preventing the enemy from making any gains, and exacting a disproportionate price from all those involved in the terror.

--

THOSE WHO do not demonstrate courage and wisdom today will tomorrow face a dark, terrifying and nonconventional regional "new order," putting the very existence of Israel - and with it, the entire West - in unprecedented peril.

This war, forced upon us, is a one-time opportunity to disrupt the plans of Iran and Syria while most of the democratic world still supports us. It is a war of no choice.

Our victory is a necessary condition for any future peace process, and for us to be able to realize our dream of peace and quiet in the face of the evil dream of an extreme, nuclearized Middle East filled with terror.

Wow, that guy is a flamer. Woo woo woo. Pull ov-ah.

Lebanon has arrested a suspect in the killing of anti-Syrian newspaper owner Gibran Tueni, judicial sources said.

I have to step away from the computer. I am bawling. Using disabled and mentally retarded children as bait...it's unbearable.

I am having trouble thinking now. I am so pained by the idea of those children not knowing why they are being led to a place they don't know-and the handlers-their lack of humanity.

Israel Investigates Blogger Allegations of Qana Staging

The Jerusalem Post reports today that the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) is investigating arguments, first raised by bloggers, that Hamas may have staged the alleged "atrocity" that occurred when building collapsed in the Lebanese city of Qana.

As reported by NewsBusters and elsewhere, significant doubts are being raised as to whether the building's collapse was caused by Israeli bombs or was deliberately destroyed by Hamas to gin up anti-Israeli sentiment.

Mentioned prominently in the article is NewsBuster Bob Owens's blog, Confederate Yankee, which in the fine MSM tradition of accuracy, is called "Conservative Yankee" by the Post. (See Bob's response post here.)

'Syrian held' over Beirut bombing

Syrian-born Abdul Qadir Abdul Qadir is being questioned about phone calls made immediately before and after the bombing that killed Tueni.

He reportedly rents a plot of land near the scene of the killing, which took place in east Beirut on 12 December.

Tueni was the third anti-Syrian figure to be killed since the assassination of former PM Rafik Hariri in February.

A United Nations investigation has implicated Syrian officials in Hariri's death - Damascus has denied involvement in that and the subsequent attacks.

Lebanese website blames Hizbullah for Qana deaths

...Hizbullah gunmen placed a rocket launcher on the roof in Qana and brought disabled children inside, in a bid to provoke a response by the Israeli Air Force. In this way, they were planning to take advantage of the death of innocents and curtail the negotiation initiative," the site stated.

The site's editors also claimed that not only did Hizbullah stage the event, but that it also chose Qana for a specific reason: "They used Qana because the village had already turned into a symbol for massacring innocent civilians, and so they set up 'Qana 2'." Notably, the incident has indeed been dubbed "The second Qana massacre" by the Arab media.

Sick, sick, sick bastards.

Yes!
But since I now email my list with info you all provide here at LGF, they've become much more aware.

There are more photographers than there are rescue personnel. It's obvious that the Hizb'allah defense is not in employing rescue workers, it is managing the media.

MIDDLE EAST: 'HIGHLY LIKELY' ISRAELIS USED CHEMICAL WEAPONS IN QANA

Beirut, 2 August (AKI) - The Israeli military may have used chemical weapons against civilians in last Sunday's deadly bombardment of an apartment block in the southern Lebanese city of Qana, a senior local Lebanese medic has told Adnkronos International (AKI). "From an initial examination of the corpses and body parts that have been arriving here each day, it is highly likely that the Israeli army used various kinds of chemical weapons in the attack," said Mustafa Jarradi, the department head of the main hospital in the southern port city of Tyre, which has been receiving victims from Qana.

Green Helmet? Are we taking bets?

Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Tuesday that Qana massacre is an instance of crime against humanity.

This one first showed up in Google late last night -

Israeli Newspaper Reports That Army Lied About Qana:
There Were No Hezbollah Fighters or Missile Launchers in Qana

There are BTW, some number of stories that are pro-Israel. I just happened to think these were the ones we needed to look at.

It should got without saying that practioners of sharia have no regard for the mentally disabled.

Aside from the seriousness of the situation (assuming that those are legitimate airstrike victims), I can't help but feel that I'm watching a Monty Python skit for the first minute or so.

Arab "journalists" are worse than our own TV Nooz idiots, from the sound of it. Look how eager that fcker was to get in there with the mic.

These are the cleanest, best outfitted, "rescue workers" I've ever seen at a "disaster site".

Funny, why didn't the MSM go INTO the building? Couldn't they have found a couple of half buried victims in the rubble?

I am more and more convinced that these Muslim guys are idiots and that the only people more stupid (or corrupt as the case may be) are the "reporters" of the MSM.

If Chemical weapons is the case, then they have a real problem with trying to make that stick.

That opens up a whole new can of worms with respect to forensics.

As well, does anyone remember halabja from 1988?

Do you recall any sign of life around that town?

They are screwing up, and just giving us more reason to question the reporting.

newsjunkie_ky, I do the same but sometimes I'm afraid I'll overwhelm them, and at the same time, it's not enough.

It's hard to get people to really let go of well-entrenched beliefs, even when they know that they're fraudulent.

The printed word especially, I find, has a hypnotic effect -- as though the newspapers would NEVER outright lie. Two words: Jayson Blair.

Intellectually, they know that things are not adding up, but emotionally, it's difficult to let go of sources that have been (wrongly) trusted for so long.

Sadly, yes. Out of all the people I know in the flesh, I am by far the best informed on RoP issues. Be it what RoPers get upto, what the Quran tells them to do or the true root causes, i.e. projective identification, shame/honor complex etc.

Sometimes, given that on LGF I "know" lots of folks who share this knowledge, I catch myself thinking that people get it. Sadly most people dont.

#23 Trespasser. You nailed it. Even if it is a body recovery and not a rescue (which might indicate the less-than-hurried approach of the ``rescue workers''), the behaviour of the lead stretcher bearer/medic at 1:40 where he seems to be waiting for a cue to advance solemnly towards the Al-Jizzera camera is so obvious.

The funny part is that our green helmet guy is pointing in the general direction of where the stretcher conveniently turns round the corner just in view of the Al-Jizzera camera.

``Yes, I saw body after body taken from the rubble,'' Green Helmet man says to the Al-Jizz reporter. ``Why, here comes one of them now!''

that would offend Reza

As I mentioned on an earlier thread, on Fox's OReilly Factor night before last, during a news break I think, I saw a clip of 2 guys carrying another guy on a stretcher, put him down in front of the cameras and when the cameramen trotted away, but Fox's camera was still on him, the "injured" guy got up off the stretcher.

I turned to my wife and said "What the hell, did you see that!". "Ya!"

Maybe someone can get that clip up on YouTube too? It's sooo OBVIOUSLY staged.

I sent a link I found on LGF yesterday to a friend of mine who writes for Time, Forbes, abc news and other mainstream media.

It showed the official Pali. Authority newspaper's cartoon of Condi Rice, the "black-skinned woman" pregnant with a monkey.

The guy was very shocked and ashamed that the mainstream media didn't cover this.

For good news, for the past few years whenever friends have discussed current events, I have had to add 50% and 95% of the pertinent facts of any situation, left out of a typical MSM report.

But the other day when discussing the Israeli-Hezb'allah conflict, facts were going round and round the table and I didn't need to add a thing.

Everyone knew everything, down to the number of rockets Hizb'allah had fired into Israel by that day, the use of ambulances to transport terrorists, the soldiers killed during the invasion/kidnapping, the use of UN compounds, the firing of rockets from civilian areas and then driving off, etc.

These are not blog people.

#112 Buck I didn't see that, but YOU should email O'Reilly about it... he would LOVE to know about it.

I'm not so sure about that one Buck. Used to think so. But when the Green Helmet story was really coming together I emailed O'Reilly and a couple of other folks at Foxnews together with Ynet - sent links and some of the pictures. Ynet ran it almost immediately.

Bet you haven't heard a word about this on Fox, have you?

/A Saudi billionaire now owns more than 5% of Foxnews stock. He has been reported to have headlines changed. HMMM

Well, one visit by Charles with the Prager show seems to have added an extra average of 10,000 or so visitors.

(Charles does not seem to revel in the limelight and I for one respect that immensely -- most successful bloggers have immersed themselves in vaingloriousness.)

WriterMama, LOL! He's not usually the shy and retiring type but he seems to have disappeared ...

sms111, I'm talking about the people in my life, not just randoms.

"Green Helmet Man" should be renamed to "Mr. Clean." I'm amazed at how clean all these rescue workers are, even the orange men too.

green helmet should be told he needs a film director(mel gibson will be free to freelance soon!).....the glaring oddities are destroying any verisimilitude....the stretcher bearers adjusting their helmets(we should have done this in the green room, but how do i look abdul?)...the prop department providing spanking new fluorescent vests...in fact every aid worker is dressed pretty spiffily.....and the choice of location is contrived as it gives a panorama of long middle and short distance for maximum visual effect....and central casting's rolodex seems stuck on 40 year old's with moustaches...

sorry green helmet....your opus reeks.

Looking at this video again, doesn't it seem like Green Helmet and the Al Jazeera cameraman who's videotaping his interview are a little too synchronized?

When Green Helmet snaps his head around to look at the stretcherbearers, the cameraman is right there with the zoom.

The Al Jazeera reporter glances down at the stretcherbearers first, and then Green Helmet snaps his head around about a second later, and the cameraman is ready with the zoom almost instantly.

I'd really like to have a translation of that part of the interview...

I wonder, does it go something like this:

Al Jaz: Abdel Qader, thank you for your time. I realize you've been extremely busy with all these bodies. *nudge, nudge* Here comes one NOW!

Abdel Qader (turns quickly): Yes, curse the Jews, look at that!

(camera zooms in at ludicrous speed)

/must I?

It looks to me like they put down the stretcher to wait for "green helmet" to get there. They pick the stretcher back up right when "green helmet" gets down there to help direct the action. I believe he is the "choreographer" and this is his Broadway production(he sure speaks like a choreographer).

#28 Dar ul Harb, that was a nice set of links. It looks like Green Helmet Guy, be he a mortician or a Hezie operative, has the ability to manage the press.

In fact, he has the ability to provide as many “Dead Children” props as the MSM can photograph. We still have to find out who he is and who he works for.

As for his statement that only 3% of the bodies were men – that would indicate Israel has a secret new explosive that only kills women and children (which is preposterous). It’s most likely of case of using handicapped children for human shields and then recycling the bodies in other locations to gin up the body count.

#26 Terp Mole, it’s always possible that Green Helmet Guy was in Israeli custody at some point.

If that is the case I would guess that Israeli authorities have mug shots of the guy. If the Israelis do have mug shots of this guy they should quickly reveal them.

#121 rayra:

'Fadi Abdel Qader Al Sakka' listed as giving a 'plaintiff testimony' re the first Qana event. I wonder if it's the same guy...

Good question.

There must be a lawyer who knows the face of Green Helmet Guy and Fadi Abdel Qader Al Sakka and can make a positive ID (or not).

#84 Axiom:

...There are more photographers than there are rescue personnel. It's obvious that the Hizb'allah defense is not in employing rescue workers, it is managing the media.

I agree.

Further, I would guess that 2 dozen MSM stringers/reporters know exactly who Green Helmet Guy is, who he works for, and how the charade was pulled off.

I bet a little money and long conversation with one of those stringers/reporters and they would spill the beans on Green Helmet Guy and his dead baby act.

Or better yet, it would be nice to pull one of those MSM stringers/reporters off the set and get a deposition from them (using some legal pretext). There must be a way of getting the information from the people who seem to be so close to Green Helment Guy.

Is it me, or does green helmet strike a remarkable resemblance with the green helmet of 1996, fourth pic down? (Warning, graphic images)

#131,

No, it's not just you.

#60 shug

Does anybody else think he looks a little like Baghdad Bob?

I was thinking the same thing, but figured that it was so OBVIOUS that surely someone else could see the resemblence in the first 130 or so quotes!

BAGHDAD BOB RIDES AGAIN!

This guy is one sick puppy!

My gay friend said..."He is a Drama Queen!"

I am surprised he didn't "snap" his fingers. I told my gay friend about how "Green Helmet" was acting and he checked it out and said

"He is a DRAMA QUEEN...and a sister". I thought that Hezbos didn't like Gay people. Maybe they can't tell the diff.

I heard on the news that Qana was were the morgue was located at.

Some of those bodies look like they have rigor mortus.

Some of them don't look crushed.

Then some of the others didn't have concrete dust in their hair.

It is possible that they moved some dead bodies from their morgue to the site for better impact.

Abdel Qader appears to be a common name in Palestine and Lebanon.

All the others have some "other" name with it.

Watch in the background at around the 1:20 mark, as rescue workers carrying a stretcher pause and set it on the ground, to allow photographers to get in position and take pictures.

This is not the way first responders act. More like 'GET OUT OF MY WAY, SIR!'
