A resident of Hilo, Hawaii has just been whisked away from Lebanon to Cyprus:
For some people, just leaving Israel alone is not an option or even a concern. There were eight "nays" for House Resolution 921 that:
One of those "Nays" was from Neil Abercrombie (D-HI1). Ahmadia has found his proper representation in Abercrombie.
For my thought on this see below.

"Just Leave Lebanon Alone" Whining, Hawaiian Style
A resident of Hilo, Hawaii has just been whisked away from Lebanon to Cyprus:
Big Island teacher Sarah Ahmadia's week-long journey to escape Lebanon has ended with a short ride on a U.S. military helicopter to Cyprus.
Ahmadia, 27, a biology teacher at the Keaau campus of Kamehameha Schools, along with her aunt and cousin, were among 200 Americans who were forced to wait another day after embassy officials overbooked the chartered cruise ship Orient Queen a day earlier.
"Nobody seems to be taking an active role in this crisis," said Ahmadia's father, principal of Keaau Middle School, who was born and raised in Lebanon. "That's not acceptable. Our government and the world should not sit back and let this go on."
"I'm not a politician. I just want to see peace. Just leave Lebanon alone," he said.
For some people, just leaving Israel alone is not an option or even a concern. There were eight "nays" for House Resolution 921 that:
Condemning the recent attacks against the State of Israel, holding terrorists and their state-sponsors accountable for such attacks, supporting Israel’s right to defend itself, and for other purposes
One of those "Nays" was from Neil Abercrombie (D-HI1). Ahmadia has found his proper representation in Abercrombie.

Sarah Ahmadia had one request: "For people to put pressure on the United States government to do all they can to support Lebanon." [i.e. Hezbollah] Israel's attacks, she said, are "completely wiping out Lebanon's economy."
