// Israel secretly provided arms and supplies to Argentina during the Falklands conflict, according to revelations in a new book.
Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin had such a deep-rooted hatred of the British that the Jewish state covertly became the biggest supplier of military equipment to the Argentine military junta.
He reveals that Argentina was desperate for any ally that could provide essential arms and other war supplies, as the British Task Force increased pressure. The Argentine Air Force contacted Isrex Argentina – Buenos Aires representatives of Israel’s munitions factories – who were willing to help, but needed further authorisation from Tel Aviv and requested an interview with Begin.
Colleague Jaime Weinstein said Mr Begin ‘had a deep hatred and resentment towards the British’. He added: ‘He did all that was possible to help Argentina, selling her weapons during the Malvinas conflict.’ //

just to add... I would trust a Jew just as much as anyone else. I would not, however, trust the Israeli state, founded on terrorism - including terrorism against the British.
