Declassified British diplomatic memoranda describe Israel as “one of the few countries to supply Argentina with arms during the Falklands conflict

Bad example. Thatcher was unsuccessful in getting more than limited support from the USA, with Reagan advising her to seek an negotiated settlement and his cabinet split on whether to support the UK at all.

Does that not sound familiar? https://t.co/eMASdesU4Q

When Argentina invaded the Falklands, the US refused our requests for assistance for 28 days.

Eventually sent one fuel tanker and sidewinder missiles to Ascension but only after a month.

Israel supplied weapons to Argentina

The difference between rhetoric and reality is stark.

The Yanks refused to help us when the Falklands were invaded.
Worse still, the Israelis sold weapons to the Argies.

With friends like these, who needs enemies? https://t.co/TFR3OKcNUe

Yeah, no help whatsoever. Apart from access to US satellite intelligence, Sidewinder missiles for our Sea Harriers, Stinger missiles for our troops, and logistics on Ascension, which is joint US/UK controlled.

Yep, no help at all.

As for Israel, yep, they continued to sell…
