This article, from a Lebanese paper, The Daily Star, also provides a possible name for the Green Helmet man.

"Where is the humanity? Why are these massacres being committed against civilians?" asked Naim Raqa, the head of the Lebanese Civil Defense unit in the nearby village of Jawaya, who was assisting in the rescue operation.

This is in the third paragraph and the first name mentioned in the article so it could indicate the guy who was most visible in the operation.




The baby Green Helmet man was showing off is identified in this article. http://www.guardian.co.uk/israel/Story/0,,1833884,00.html


The youngest, Abbas Mahmoud Hashem, lay on his back with his head turned and his right leg drawn up. A dummy hung on a blue plastic chain round his neck; concrete dust covered his face and hair. He looked about 18 months old.

The house that was bombed was owned by an Abbas Hashem, so the child may have been a nephew since a surviving girl, Noor Hashem, who is his niece, says her mother had rescued her and her sister and then went back into the house to find her three brothers but never returned because they are all dead.

"Where is the humanity? Why are these massacres being committed against civilians?"

Rhetorical question, but the answer is: because Hamas operates out of civilian populated areas and used these victims for human shields, if not worse.

The article you linked to at http://www.guardian.co.uk/israel/Story/0,,1833884,00.html
has to be one of the most biased I've ever read. I would be foolish to cite them as a reliable source. A sampling:



The house stood at the top of a hillside on the very edge of Qana and its disembowelled (sic) remains had spilled down the slope. Bodies were lined up on the ground - a baby, two young girls and two women. The rigid corpse of a young man lay nearby, his arm rising vertically from beneath a blanket, his index finger pointing up to the sky.

"Where are the stretchers, where are the stretchers?" a rescue worker cried as Israeli warplanes roared overhead. Sami Yazbuk, the head of the Red Cross in Tyre said they got the call at 7am, but had to take a detour to Qana because of shelling on the road.

In a nearby ambulance the smallest victims were stacked one on top of the other to make space for the many to come. A boy and girl, both no more than four years old had been placed head to toe. They were still wearing pyjamas.

Family photos - one showing two young children - were scattered in the debris. Mohsen Hachem stared at the images. "They had to have known there were children in that house," he said. "The drones are always overhead, and those children - there were more than 30 - would play outside all day."



-However, the Lebanese Red Cross only claims 27 bodies.
-The building was not evacuated for 8 HOURS after the rocket strike?
-The people supposedly could not be evacuated because the roads were bombed, but the reporters had no trouble getting there from Tyre?
-Hez didn’t start the search until the reporters arrived?
-The bodies all exhibited advanced rigor mortis, but were otherwise intact and bloodless?
-A clean pacifier mysteriously appears en route to the amblance?
