And if Begin did supply Argentina is there any particular reason that he should not have? Like a steadfast and loyal Britain supporting Israel and extending a friendly hand and political or economic support? I yes. I forget. As one expressive UK "diplomat" declared" "Israel. That sh-tty little country". Reflexive support for the UK? Well, I do admit I like Upstairs-Downstairs,.... And today? Seems to me the Brits are pretty much the same sisnce the 1920's. they don't like Israel, and there is no particular reason to like or certainly NO reasossn to trust of support the UK.

his people on Athalena not to respond ,when attacked by Jews.He did not want Jews to fight against Jews. He was a leader,man of vision.That is what we need now.

reading.

Very well said Jason.

" we will never forget and never forgive"

The made the Balfour Declaration and backtracked like nothin happen. Then they publish the White Book and survivors of the death camps in europe were held detained in Cyprus,to complete their deeds they disarm most of the people of the Yishuv and armed the arabs. For waht should we be thankfull.

it...

Yes Israel Actually produced the Exocet....opps no that was France that sold all those weapons to Argentina......must be that the French Hate the Brits more than Begin did cause the French Equipment was A LOT more effective see HMS Sheffield

all the atrocities you did to the jews and to israel. may all you british including that goat that sits on the throne rot in hell anti semitic scum of a nation. BEGIN WILL ALWAYS BE A TRUE HERO.

Do not talk filth about a man like Begin. He did far more than a fool (Al) like you could ever do. Sinai was forced upon him. His legacy was Irgun, the old glory of Likud, and for your information he was far more intelligent than you will ever be. You are a disgrace to the real rightist camp. Aron, care to cite any sources, because all I hear from you is an emotional rant and slander. Begin fought the British, and for your information, you have no idea how many Jews backed him fully. If Begin did not have th of the support the masses, then when he and Irgun Zvai Leumi would have been ratted out immediatley when they were underground. Never happened. Yeah right Mike, and Britan never played sides in other peoples wars. Britans weapons and bullets were never used in Arab hands to kills Jews during 48, and 67. Are you prime minister? So who cares if you say it is unforgivable. Praise Begin, as he behaved like the kings and prophets of old. RBG, pity Britan lost its empire. Why did that happen?

Well, Salma, that would be you and your purported Palestinian people

was a truly proud Jew. He knew who he was, knew who his people are, knew right from wrong. He was ethical and decent. And he raised his family with those values. I once ran into Benny Begin standing in line at a caspomat in Beit Hakerem. No cutting the line, no demand for preferential treatment. I will never forget it.

It armed officered and financed the Arab Legion responsible for some 30% of Israeli casualties in that war, armed and financed the Iraqis and militarily intervened to protect Egypt in Jan 1949. When it is proved Israeli help was directly responsible for the death of the 200,000 Brits then the score will be equal.

oh yea Arthur Balfore was an indain and not british! ha.

When you're still sleeping baby, I don't take you seriously. sorry Ari : (

you said it all

reeling from the crimes perpetrated by Her Majesty's subjects.

reads the Zionist press.

annihilated an Aboriginal race in Australia, caused pain and suffering in India, messed up a lot of Africans, etc. The list of the horrific British atrocities can go on forever.

Whether or not British arms were used in other wars is irrelevant to this particular argument. Why are you so aggressive? Did I say I was PM? I said that it is unforgivable to kill soldiers as far as I am concerned and I really don't feel like I have to justify that to someone who signs off as IZL - a recognized terrorist organization.

The Brits screwed Jews before during after ww2 they were just as responsible four the holocust as the Germans they could have saved us by opening the doors to Palestine to Jewish immigration they did not. Well done pm begin

So does Russia and other countries dealing with Iran - Why are you so pissed off that Iran is providing its weapons to Hezbollah or Hamas ?,...

At the time Britain was governed by Margaret Thatcher, the most pro-Israeli PM of modern times. Begin, on the other hand, was prepared to supply arms to brutal Argentine military regime that not only systematically murdered thousands of its own subjects in its dirty war but was rampantly anti-semitic. As the tiny handful of more balanced posts to this site point out, this is all pretty disturbing behaviour, (even for someone like Begin) as are most of the ragingly anti-British comments. Also, as this book points out, British intelligence knew all about these arms supplies, and prevailed in the conflict in any case. So what good did Begin's foolish intervention achieve except perhaps wasting? Absolutely nothing. I am a pro-Israeli Brit. But on reading some of these posts, I can see why some people in the UK aren't.

Russia has every right to sell weapons to Iran but Israel is also entitled to try and pressure Russia into not going ahead with the sale because Iran is our enemy. Thats opportunism on Israel's part but Russia has a right to sell conventional weapons to Iran. There is a difference between selling weapons to terrorists and selling weapons to countries in the process of fighting a war. All countries with an arms industry are allowed to look for business where they find it. Before they entered the war during WW1 whilst officially the US supported the British and French they sold weapons to them and the Germans.... business is business.

Not to mention that he deserted Anders's Army (Polish) an the way to Africa via the "Persian Corridor" to fight Rommel's forces leaving his fellow sodiers without ammo and medications - ,...

That was the French Ambassador to UK ,...

A terrorists , declared by whom , by you or the corrupted reps on Capital Hill ? One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter ,...

The UNITED STATES AIR FORCE 1968 sank one US warship - USS PCF-19, damaged one Royal Australian Navy Guided Missile Destroyer - HMS Hobart, attacked one Guided Missile Cruiser USS Boston, Destroyer USS Edson, Swift Boat USS PCF-12, and US Coast Guard Cutter - USCGC Point Dume all with AMERICAN made weapons. In 1942 the USS San Francisco opened fire on the USS Atlanta killing dozens. During Sicily 1943, the US Navy shot down 33 USAAF C-47s killing 318. Guam 1944, two battalions of the 77th Infantry called for artillery to shell each other. Vietnam 1967 USAF F-4 bombed 2nd Bn, 503rd Inf, 173rd Abn Bge killing 45 men. Northern Iraq 1994 - USAF F-15Cs shot down 2 US Army Blackhawks killing 29. I can cite another 10,000 such incidents with just the US. What an asshole.

During World War 2, Ford Motor Company built over 50% of the trucks in the German Army, General Motors about 25%. Ford even bought Concentration Camps to build vehicle for the German Army. After war Henry Ford was paid by the US government for damage caused by the US to his Concentration Camps.

... tho hate, the British are hardly in first place. Being as I don't know a single Argentinian family that didn't lose a member because of the right wing military during the years they were in power, my support was for the British, even if the idea of a far flung colony was quite ludicrous. I try to live in the present, and not in the past. In 1982 the Aregentinian dictatorship was creating a worse situtation for the Jews there than the British.
