Ah you're right, why wouldn't they be friendly to the armed nutters who stormed into their home, killed their neighbours and family members, and held them hostage for almost two months?
So were they hostages when they were imprisoned with no intention of using them as bargaining chips, or did they become hostages when Hamas asked for their release as part of the exchange?
My point is just holding the ground is not enough to legally/ethically claim the land, especially if you’ve kicked out the people on said land that used to be there.
And since this didn't happen on the Falklands, your point is completely asinine.
Self determination requires two things - the whole determination part, in case of the falklands the referendum held and overseen by international observers; and the means to uphold that self determination against those who would ignore it (in this case, argentina).
The principle of self determination is in the UN charter that you keep erroneously saying suggests the UK should hand over the islands because of.
The other side of the coin of self determination is having the force to ensure that. Britain holds the ground, the people there want this to continue, and Argentina lacks the capability to force this to change.
I am not being deliberately obtuse but its hard when its clear you have no clue what you are talking about. This thread is full of people telling you this but you just keep repeating the same nonsense.
Even if your bullshit wasn't bullshit, theres another huge difference you are ignoring - the US is capable of doing something about it, Argentina is not.
