So then it’s ok?

England has stood by us when almost NO other country has.

Boy is that forgotten fast around here.

How would Israel feel if England started selling weapons to the Palestinians? They would go ballistic.

The only weapon specifilly referenced in the Post article was an unnamed “espionage aircraft”. So are we talking weapons that could have truly made a difference to the air-sea battle around the Falklands? Or are we talking about Ghalils & Uzis? I don’t know. I appreciate your outrage, but until I have something more specific I’ll reserve judgment.

The United States was neutral in the Falklands War. We were technically allied with both the UK and Argentina.
Israel and the UK were not allies. The British were all too happy to stop Jewish immigration and arm the Arabs in the years leading up to the Israeli War of Independence. Hamas wishes to destroy Israel. The Argentine junta wanted 2 small islands.
