“Green Helmet Guy”, whose photos depicting him carrying the corpse of a child went viral during the July 2006 war in Lebanon, has resurfaced.
Playing a prominent role in proven bogus pictures in the aftermath of the July 30, 2006 raid on Qana where he seemed to be on the payroll of Hezbollah, the corpse-bearing photo of “Green Helmet Guy”, aka “Mr. Green Helmet” is now being used to disseminate Hamas propaganda.
YouTube can now be added to Green Helmet Guy’s propaganda arsenal. In a YouTube entitled “Ahmed Hamdy Singing for Ghazah, here Green Helmet Guy is holding up the corpse of the same child he held up two years ago in Lebanon. It is unlikely that singer Ahmed Hamdy knows his singing is being used to promote propaganda via YouTube.
Graphic photos of Palestinian victims, many of them dead or mortally wounded children, appear in the YouTube with Hamdy’s voice singing in the background. The YouTube, which includes messages written in Arabic, was put together by Mohamed Ibrahim.
Green Helmet Guy was caught red-handed when bloggers spotted him in the aftermath of the raid on Qana as a “rescue worker” who seemed to parade around with the corpse of a child for protracted periods of time.
“Many bloggers speculated that he is, in fact, a Hezbollah “set designer” and media relations officer whose job is to milk maximum propaganda value from each photo opportunity, with the cooperation of willing photographers, who must witness his shenanigans in person, but not report on them.” (http://www.zombietime.com).
Canada Free Press (CFP) was sent the YouTube on an email list that included info@radioislam,com. CFP’s IT expert Brian Thompson recognized Green Helmet Guy when checking to see what was on the video.
The photos from Qana and Gaza are a perfect match.

Ya gotta love it!
The IDF should waste no lives protecting those who train for suicide and murder.
Did al-Reuters let Green helment Guy out of his contract?
What about Baghdad Bob? Wouldn’t he make a great spokesman for Hamas about now?
Why isn’t Baghdad Bob out there splaining things to us right now?
Ok Green Helmet Guy never travels far without the always present in multiple locations at once, “wailing woman”.
Come on Hamas, where is the Wailing Woman?
Does that mean Looter guy and Baghdad Bob be showing up soon
I expected the Green Helmet Guy to show up. I’d really be impressed if Looter Man shows up. Do they have Heineken beer in Gaza?
He’s baaa-ack!
Great shot!
I'm waiting for bomb-magnet lady:
I don't know, but as he rode out of town, he gave me this silver bullet...
That’s a Who’s Who of the “I Was There” set.
Green Helmet Guy and Baghdad Bob- perhaps the new ministers of propoganda and press secretary for a Pal government!
But except for the child corpses, no shadier a set of liars than on CNN or PMSNBC.
During Israel’s defensive war against Hezbollah two years ago, the phenomenon was so common that it became known as “Hezbollywood.”[16] One of the best-known instances was when a man purporting to be a rescue worker at the site of a bombed village appeared in various photos in the international media, repeatedly displaying the same child’s dead body at different times – and in different poses – throughout the day. The man, identified as Salam Daher, wore a green helmet in all of the photos, earning himself the nickname “green helmet guy.” Daher was also found to have directed a camera shooting the scene.[17]
Complete with the same (clean) blue pacifier...
