Amira Hass is a regular columnist with Israel's Ha'aretz newspaper and the only Israeli journalist to have spent several years living in and reporting from Gaza and the West Bank. On Tuesday, Hass was awarded the 2009 Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Women's Media Foundation. CNN's Christiane Amanpour described Hass as "one of the greatest truth-seekers of them all." Hass joins us to talk about covering the Israel-Palestine conflict, the Goldstone report on the Israeli assault on Gaza, and the need to understand the issue in the context of military occupation.
