Maybe I can hitch a ride from the French.

A story by Reuters states:

France has hired a Greek cruise ship which can carry between 1,000 and 2,000 passengers to help evacuate its citizens from Lebanon via Cyprus. French authorities have also hired another ferry together with Norway which can take up to 650 people.

"It is a French initiative for the transportation of all European citizens," said Sotos Zakhaeos, the director-general of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"It will set off, likely late today from Cyprus and start picking people up tomorrow. This is a European initiative, and the security guarantees have been given," he told Reuters.

Don't let them know you post at FR. Put a white flag in your pocket so they'll think you're French. Tell 'em Zidane got a raw deal. Then maybe they'll let you on one of the ships.

Keep safe fellow Freeper!

Avoid any Embassy or any form of public transportation.

Find a tent out in the desert and enjoy some time with nature. Even Jesus took solitude in the desert.

This will blow over soon, but I want you and your family out of the danger zone.

Who is giving the security guarantees? Has Hezbolla said they won't attack them? And would you believe them if they did? Hope you stay safe and get home soon.
