because israel, like any country doesnt demand the US Navy to do anything in international waters.....the israelis were given all info they needed about the ship to know it was american and an ally and communications intercept ship.....do you think the israelis should be able to make demands upon our navy in international waters? arent we doing a good enough job of being their "poodle" without turning over our navy to them?
