Israel sold weapons to Argentina during Falklands War

ForeverYoung436, Fanger, et al,

There is much more to this story than was released from a few isolated documents.

1) Why dredge up something that happened eons ago? Do you spend all your time scouring the bowels of the Internet for anti-Israel stories?

2) Even if true, what's so shameful about it? The Falklands are right off the coast of Argentina, who wanted to liberate the islands. Israel showed no disloyalty to Britain because they were never the best of friends. The Jews had to fight Britain to gain independence.

There is a technical and tactical advantage to maintaining a dependency on the logistical trail; spare parts and long range fuel tanks needed to keep these aircraft in action against the British Task Force. There is an combat engagement advantage in keeping the Argentine dependent on their aging A-4 Skyhawk fleet. And a huge intelligence advantage if Argentina were to have bought reconnaissance aircraft designed to gather electronic and signals intelligence (ELINT/SIGINT). Countries all over the world pay big money to understand the capabilities and limitations of such systems. In this case, the UK was about to have this handed to them at no expense. (Some of this you can figure-out yourself if you ask the right interrogatives.)

Although at first glance, it may sound like Israeli was providing aid to an enemy of our ally, that is not totally correct. Any more than the fact that Major-General Sir Frederic Glubb (Pasha) (and staff), provided the leadership and guidance necessary, in the 1948/49 Israeli War of Independence, for the Arab Legion to achieve critical goals and objectives in the occupation of selected territory.

Most Respectfully,

2) Israel is currently in the heart of the Arab world, If they wanted to liberate it and Britain supplied weapons and jet fighters, that would not be disloyal to israel as they were never the best of friends.





Correct, and then the UK would sink ever so slowly as its stock markets collapsed, and the arab nations would not lift a finger to help. Then the UK would become just another islamonazi hell hole with the terrorists holding the keys to the nuclear weapons



then it would be

ISLAM GO BOOM AND GLOW IN THE DARK
 
Secret documents recently declassified by the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office from the 1980s shed light on Israeli involvement in the Falklands War in 1982. According to the document, Israel supplied fighter jets and other weapons to Argentina's military junta at the height of the war with Britain.

During the war, Israel (Sold) Skyhawk jets to Argentina which were used to bomb British warships killing dozens of soldiers and sailors. One of the ships that was bombed by the Israeli-supplied fighter jets was the ‘RFA Sir Galahad’, which was set ablaze killing 48 people, marking one of the most traumatic episodes in the British experience of the war.

Israel denied that it ever sold fighter jets to Argentina at first, but British soldiers who occupied the islands reported encountering Israeli made weapons on the islands. It was only two years after the war ended that Israel admitted to supplying the Argentines with weapons.

Ynetnews News - Israel sold weapons to Argentina during Falklands War

When Israel denies something, It's Lying
Why would it have been wrong for Israel to sell weapons to Argentina? When the Jordanian Army attacked Israel in 1948 and 1967 it was led by British trained officers and armed with British weapons.
 
LOL the US sells weapons to Iran and Iraq as well as ISIS and all the rest. Who cares, as long as they are killing one another, its mission accomplished
 
Consider the Arms Sale a "Thank You" from Israel for reneging on the Balfour Declaration.
If Great Britain re-neged on the Balfour declaration, how come the Illegal Alien European jews are still Squatting in Palestine?

Silence third worlder. Great Britain did not "re-neg" on anything. The arab-islamist entity failed to seize opportunities.

Failure! It defines the Arab-Moslem entity

For starters they cant be illegals as they were invited by the Ottomans and the LoN to migrate and settle the land. It was the arab muslims that were the illegals as proven by Churchill when he stood up and told parliament that they had flooded into palestine illegally. The British were tied by the Lon Mandate of palestine and could not do anything until the nazi inspired UN took over.


You need to start looking very closely at INTERNATIONAL LAWS and TREATIES before you make racist comments as they could rebound and have you banned from leaving islamic nations
 
Time will tell, it;s not Like jews haven't been expelled En masse before

109 Locations whence Jews have been Expelled since AD250

Your silly cutting and pasting is laughable.

The Islamist Entity has tried and failed.... spectacularly..... since 1948 to impose their brand of fascism against Israel.

The falsely labeled Pal'istanians have become only a liability to their nations of origin. That is why they are treated with revulsion. Your homework assignment is to use wiki and research "Black September".

The nations of origin for the Pal'istanians use them only as a convenient flail against Israel. If you had been able to emerge from your coma for more than a brief period, you would have noticed that the Islamist nations surrounding Israel have (grudgingly) accepted that Israel is a far more stable and reliable political / economic force than the Pal'stanian Islamic terrorists. The competing Hamas / Fatah Islamic terrorist franchises -welfare fraud posing as Pal'istanians exists only because of ill considered western policies. Should the west turn off the welfare fraud spigot drenching the competing Islamic terrorist franchises, the Pal'istanians would quickly become just another failed Islamic terrorist enclave of competing tribes shooting, maiming and destroying each other. The Hamas vs. Fatah civil war is always smoldering, with another raging bonfire waiting to flare up.

and the Jews pay both sides to keep it that way, for now

There's an entire forum dedicated to goofy conspiracy theories, yours among the typically goofy.

And every time the islamonazi terrorists lose even more people and homes for them to live in. When only the hamas leaders homes are left they will demand peace talks.
 
Phoenall, fanger, Kondor3, et al,

Whether or not the "Balfour Declaration" places an obligation (or not), is irrelevant.

It really doesn't matter today, what happened a century ago under an entirely different world. By whatever the means it occurred, it came to pass that the territorial outline of Israel came into being nearly a half century ago. It is the most Humanly Developed nation in the entire region; out stripping every other regional nation between Turkey to Morocco and the Mediterranean Sea and the Persian Gulf. No nation in the entire Arab League rates high on the Human Development Index than Israel --- NONE!

Israel does not want to overcome any Arab League member, as it is, on its own, more successful that Arab Challenger, anywhere in the league. It is in the national interest of every Arab League member that Israel continue to prosper and grow. No one benefits form the destruction of the Jewish State --- even the surrounding Arab States.

Because, unlike the under-performer Muslim-Arabs of the region, the Jews found their balls, and forced the issue, without Britain's help...

Next slide, please...
