In May 1968, the Israeli government paid US$3,323,500 (US$22.2 million in 2012) as full payment to the families of the 34 men killed in the attack. In March 1969, Israel paid a further $3,566,457 in compensation to the men who had been wounded. On 18 December 1980, it agreed to pay $6 million as settlement for the final U.S. bill of $17,132,709 for material damage to the Liberty itself plus 13 years' interest.

You'd be surprised of the number of people that would take up arms against the US government if they were to turn on Israel...me being one of them. Due to my judeo-christian beliefs, I'm one that will back Israel until my last heart beat.

Surely you don't want to make this into a discussion about money flowing to and from Israel.

Also from the Wiki
Quote:
The main expression of Congressional support for Israel has been foreign aid.[1] Since 1985, it has provided nearly $3 billion in grants annually to Israel, with Israel being the largest annual recipient of American aid from 1976 to 2004 and the largest cumulative recipient of aid since World War II.[2] Congress has monitored the aid issue closely along with other issues in bilateral relations, and its concerns have affected Administration's policies.[1] Almost all U.S. aid to Israel is now in the form of military assistance, while in the past it also received significant economic assistance. Strong congressional support for Israel has resulted in Israel's receiving benefits not available to other countries.[2]

Must have something to do with most if not all other countries wanting to see Israel denied existence.

Sounds like democracy in action. Though, I wasn't aware of any vast conspiracy against Israel.

It also has to do with a large number of US citizens living in and doing business with Israel...

Woody Allen is a die-hard New Yawker, not an Israeli. Supposedly, he's never even been to Israel Jewish =/= Israeli.

It always kills me to see people that claim to be open minded and non anti semetic, but they hate Israel.

I guess Hitler must have gotten to them somehow.

I don't understand why you all have to dance around so much. Why can't just come out and say it? You all have a reason, own it.

Israel is a country, not a religion. Are people anti-Christian for hating France?
