Please sir, can we rescue our citizens?

As Israeli attacks on Lebanon intensify and the civillian death toll rises, the British government has dispatched two warships to evacuate British citizens from Lebanon.

However, because Israel is illegally blockading Lebanon, the British government has said that it needs the permission of the Israeli government to send British warships into Lebanese waters to rescue British citizens.

Personally, I would like to see the warships disregard Israel's illegal blockade and run down any Israeli tub that gets in their way. Lebanese waters are Lebanese, not Israeli and if the British government has the permission of the Lebanese government then the Israeli's can go take a running jump.
