In March 1969, Israel paid a further $3.57 million ($23 million in 2015) to the men who had been wounded. In December 1980, it agreed to pay $6 million ($17.2 million in 2015) as the final settlement for material damage to Liberty itself plus 13 years of interest.

Claim checks out.

The United States has finalized a $38 billion package of military aid for Israel over the next 10 years, the largest of its kind ever, and the two allies plan to sign the agreement on Wednesday, American and Israeli officials said.

So inflation adjusted about $40 million compared to $38 billion, almost 1000x times more. Uh, guess we're even?

In May 1968, the Israeli government paid US$3.32 million (equivalent to US$24.7 million in 2020) to the U.S. government in compensation for the families of the 34 men killed in the attack. In March 1969, Israel paid a further $3.57 million ($25.2 million in 2020) to the men who had been wounded. In December 1980, it agreed to pay $6 million ($18.8 million in 2020) as the final settlement for material damage to Liberty itself plus 13 years of interest

Ah my mistake, $68.7 million versus $38 billion. I guess it's only over 500x in free money for Israel. You sure showed me.

America is just making sure no more genocide happens. After all, Israel is surrounded by people that hates them. Besides, it is a way for America to help its industry without upkeep. Did you know the money given can ONLY be used on American equipment? Yes, that means, after buying that US$110 million fighter jet, Israel has also to pay million for the upkeep. Which goes directly to America... again.
