Here is some new insight to how Israel works and the immoral acts they will stoop to.
During the war between Britain and Argentina it has come to light that Israel actually supplied equipment to the Argentinians.
It's frankly quite stunning to hear this sort of thing. Israel pretends to be friends with Britain and yet in a time of crisis it decides to side with the enemy. Such lovely friends they make.
Who needs enemies when you have friends like these.
Absolutely despicable.

Wrong. A well kept secret is that the United States threatened Argentina with a full scale military intervention if they didn't allow the Brits to "win" back the Falklands. Up to that point Argentina was kicking the brits butts all over the place, sinking ships, etc. If it wasn't for USA bailing you Brits out once again, the UK would probably be speaking Argentinian right now.

On 4 May, two days after the sinking of Belgrano, the British lost the Type 42 destroyer HMS Sheffield to fire following an Exocet missile strike from the Argentine 2nd Naval Air Fighter/Attack Squadron. Sheffield had been ordered forward with two other Type 42s to provide a long-range radar and medium-high altitude missile picket far from the British carriers. She was struck amidships, with devastating effect, ultimately killing 20 crew members and severely injuring 24 others. The ship was abandoned several hours later, gutted and deformed by the fires that continued to burn for six more days. She finally sank outside the Maritime Exclusion Zone on 10 May.
