Israeli Lawmaker and conscientious objector denounce situation in Gaza

Israeli Lawmaker andi conscientious objector denounce situation in Gaza (1 of 2) from Democracy Now 12/31/08:

"Israel has rejected a French proposal for an immediate emergency 48-hour ceasefire to allow humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. As Israeli air and sea attacks against the Strip continued into its fifth day, basic food supplies in Gaza are running low and hospitals are struggling to cope with the rising casualties. We speak to two Israelis opposed to the assault: Dov Khenin, a Knesset member with the the Jewish-Arab party Hadash; and Jonathan Benartzi, an Israeli conscientious objector who spent more than a year in prison for refusing to serve. He also happens to be the nephew of Benjamin Netanyahu, a leading proponent of attacking Gaza and a favorite to win the upcoming Israeli elections."
