Argentina echoes claim to Falkland Islands

[naaman fletcher]

Argentina's president has reiterated her country's historical claim to the Falkland Islands, three decades since the war with Britain over these remote islands in the South Atlantic.

Cristina Kirchner compared the claim to the islands with the Palestinian desire for statehood.

While Argentina lost the war, it has never given up its sovereignty claim over what it calls the Malvinas Islands.

I think it's rather offensive to the Palestinians to compare their just claim to the right of self-governance to Kirchners desire to oppress the people of the Falklands, who do not want to be ruled by Argentina.
