nothing that could interfere between the profound and historic relationship Argentina has with Israel
“, I like the historic, as if Argentina and Israel have been great friends for hundreds of years,
Argentina was not created until late 19th century, and the state of Israel was not created until mid 20th century so any friendship would be from there,, about 60 years ago, is this classed as historic, he may pull the wool over the eyes of some, but Israel is not one of them, she is not as tolerant as we are, but good luck to you in your travels, anything for a free round the world holiday, just a thought .

You can't sweep under the carpet this nationally sponsored war on another country fought by terrorist bombings in a third non-engaged country.
And you can't deliver notes to the terrorist country saying the matter will be quietly dropped for trade.
And you can't then go to the country whose people and assets are being terrorist-bombed and say “My President didn't really do this - or, if she did, she didn't know what she was doing”.

Either CFK is a fool
or Timermann is a fool
or both are fools.

And can a Foreign Minister blow a trump at the law of his own country?
Does the law of the land in Argentina count for nothing?
