Israeli Conscientious Objector Sentenced to 30 Days in Prison
-------------------------------------------------------------

An 18-year-old Israeli teenager who refused to enlist in the Israeli
army has been sentenced to 30 days in prison. Tal Mitnick spoke out
against Israel's assault on Gaza before his sentencing on Tuesday.
bq. Tal Mitnick: "I am standing today in Tel Ha Shomer base, and I am
refusing to enlist. I believe that slaughter cannot solve slaughter. The
criminal attack on Gaza won't solve the atrocious slaughter that Hamas
executed. Violence won't solve violence. And that is why I refuse."
