They won't.
Because most posters registered long-term at Free Republic know the USS Liberty issue has been re-hashed to the point of absurdity and tend to a default view, that bringing it up yet again belies ulterior motives other than unbiased "critical thinking."
The relationship between the United States and Israel in 1967 was radically different than it is now. Rehashing, again, an incident that took place between the two countries in the disorder of a war zone over four decades ago in very different times, tends to brand the poster other than innocuous.
Just sayin'.
