    For Argentinians to believe that the Falklands belong to them because it sits on their continental shelf is complete hogwash.

    ‘Yair Netanyahu, son of the Israeli prime minister and holder of no official position, posted in Spanish on X that the islands belong to Argentina.’

    I see the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree then.

    So, what’s next then, some ‘settlements’, but only temporary and only for security purposes, eh!

    A concrete wall here or there, but only for security purposes of course, some of the sheep may have Hamas affiliations!

    Or more likely, advise the Argentinian government on how to get rid of an unwanted population already living there for many generations.

    Which seems to be the Netanyahu family business, occupying other peoples land and then driving them out.

    Which of course has been the story of Argentina’s whole history.

    They have a lot in common.

    If they are on Argentina’s side, then our cause is surely most righteous.
