Here’s where U.K. hypocrisy shows itself, today.
They can continue to claim legitimacy for their OCCUPATION of a colonial possesion thousands of mile away, while belittling little Israel for defending the defensible borders it has come to have in defense against the many threats to its existence.
It is no more an “OCCUPATION of a colonial possession” than is the current US government’s presence in the US.
The Brits “occupy” a small archipelago in the South Atlantic that until discovered and settled by England had been completely uninhabited by anyone.
They established themselves there LONG before Argentina even existed as a political entity.
Argentina attacked and tried to conquer this small archipelago using “Las Malvinas” as a pretext.
The Brits beat them back and unequivocally re-established their title with true blood and guts, 8000 miles from home.
Yeah, that sounds pretty illegitimate to me.
