I am not critizing Israel, but when another sovereign nation inteferes with the free passage of U.S. citizens, as Israel has done by blockading Lebanon, which prevents U.S. citizens from being able to remove themselves from a dangerous situation, that becomes an issue for my government. I am quite happy taking responsibility for my own safety. I am unhappy about being held hostage by a foreign government.

I hope you understand the distinction.
