Interesting. But did it not occur to them that the US doesn't particularly care about atrocities committed by their allies?

Supposedly the US and Israel wasn't the same type of BFF's back in 1967 that they are now. It was only after the Arab-Israeli war in 1967 that the Americans began trying to turn Israel into a millitary base. Prior to 1967, Israel was more of a european project than an American one, which I assume has to do with the fact that America got scared when Nasser took over the Suez-canal.

Maybe they were worried that some of the intel could be used against them or possible leaks, I mean is not like the US is a reliable ally.
