Is Israel using illegal weapons in its offensive on Gaza?

By Amira Hass

Marc Garlasco, a senior military analyst at Human Rights Watch (HRW), has come to Israel. His mission: to examine whether the weapons that both sides are using are themselves legal and whether the use of them is legal.
For years, Amira Hass was the only Israeli journalist resident in Gaza. She knows it intimately, and is very sympathetic to its people. Her reporting on Gaza political and social issues is usually outstanding. She isn't a military correspondent, however (and it shows).

As for Garlasco, this is an interview that he probably shouldn't have given—it comes off as far too gee-whiz and lacking in any sort of objectivity, although the issues are real and important.
