Thats probably preferable to the ordeal of going by ship from Lebanon to Cyprus. I just heard an interview with one of the Canadians to arrive in Cyprus and he said there was no food, water or medical care on board. In addition, people were getting sea sick and vomiting with no way to clean it up. They had to sleep on the floor amidst all of this misery.

Now I realize that its probably preferrable to being blown to bits but I think the idea of leaving from an Israeli may not be such a bad idea. Israel did offer to help...

Right!
