‘Human Rights Watch’ provides searing evidence of the targeting of civilians in Gaza

An astonishing photo album of destruction to Palestinians' homes in Gaza at Norm Finkelstein's site. Many of the homes belong to people of some wealth, bringing it home a little bit more…
And at Human Rights Watch, a powerful video narrated by military analyst Marc Garlasco, with his conclusion that Israel's use of white phosphorus missiles in civilian areas was a serious war crime. The impact of these weapons is so indiscriminate by nature that to fire them at a school or a hospital cannot be rationalized as an effort to destroy Hamas rocket installations. The U.N.'s John Ging appears to say that Israel was provided with the GPS coordinates of UN schools, well ahead of the attack that killed children in a classroom. Garlasco calls for an international investigation. It's a drumbeat now… Oh, and yes: Garlasco says that Hamas's Qassam fire at southern Israel is also a war crime.
