Because the U.S.had betrayed the Jews before by not bombing the camps and turning away Jewish refugees and allowing millions to die.
It won't happen again. Could you imagine the U.S. turning away jews today? Even the people who, like you, want to reopen old wounds wouldn't dare. If you can get over your ridiculous self pity over an incident that happened so long ago, try thinking about the here and now. Israel is fighting for its life and there's nothing you or the anti-semites can do to dissolve the union between the two countries.
Soon, mark my words, U.S. and Israeli troops will be rolling side by side toward Baghdad and Damascus. The U.S. has no choice but to side with its only true friend -- a friend that knows the local terrain and where to call down the air strikes. Instead of trying to bring up the Liberty, be glad you have a partner that knows which enemies to hit when. Honesty is the essence of friendship and Sharon is being honest.
If you read my post carefully, I am not trying to reopen anything. I have pursued (as I stated in my post)this issue since 1967 and not received a single response. I also repeat that there has been a conspicuous absence of any hearings in the Congress, or discussion in the media.
Again I ask if you have any factual information (with references), then post them so that this forum can benefit from your intuitive wisdom!
