From Wiki...

Quote:
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.

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...

As from the title..."presumed by Jews"

I guess you have forgotten about all of the mortars, bombs, and missiles lobbed in from Hamas groups...
