Tonight, I voted against sending more military aid to Israel. I voted against it because I saw it as I currently see it, as a vote against collective punishment, a vote against ethnic cleansing, and a vote against genocide appearing before my very eyes. I refuse to have my fingerprints, my imprimatur on the killing of innocent people, including children. I voted ``no.'' I will not become a ``yes'' because Mr. Netanyahu doesn't want peace. He wants all of Palestine. My imprimatur will not be on it.
