Seems the documents were from 1984 the war ended in 1982.
Was there an international agreement to lay siege to Argentina? I don't remember anything like that. it would have been stupid if they did.

Seems like a non-issue.

They had a retrospect reporting that Israel had been arming Argentina from prior to the Falklands conflict and never stopped.

Apparently it wasn’t enough to prevent Britain from prevailing over those islands, however.

Yeah. It needs to be recognized that Israel was cultivating friends wherever they could find them — even to the extent that those relationships might remain covert. And given that the Brits have always been ambivalent about Israel is this really so surprising?

What’s with the semantics.

I guess Germany shouldn’t have minded us selling equipment to England.

If I recall correctly, Argentina hid a lot of nazis.

If it is true, it was wrong to do.

It is what it is and it’s past, but it was wrong.

England followed us into that Iraq folly as a loyal friend.

They’ve been there when others haven’t.

Israel should have stopped selling out of respect for our relationship AND the differences the two countries stood for at the time. Thatcher was a good woman.
